"BEHOLD
A
PALE HORSE"
Milton William Cooper
And I looked,
and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat upon him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them
over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword,
and with hunger,
and with the beasts
of the earth.
The Holy Bible
The Book of Revelation
Chapter 6
Verse 8
The ideas and conclusions expressed in this work are mine
alone. It is possible that one or more conclusions may be wrong.
The purpose of this book is to convince you (the reader) that
something is terribly wrong. It is my hope that this work will
inspire you to begin an earnest search for the truth. Your con-
clusions may be different but together maybe we can build a
better world.
One
basic
truth can
be used as
a foundation for
a mountain of lies,
and if we dig down deep
enough in the mountain of lies,
and bring out that truth, to set it
on top of the mountain of lies; the entire
mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of
that one truth, and there is nothing more devastating to a
structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which
the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of
the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to
reverberate throughout the Earth for generations to
follow, awakening even those
people who had no
desire to be
awakened
to the
truth.

INTRODUCTION
Sometime ago I had the opportunity to meet William Cooper and his
wife Annie. It was part of my job to verify whether this man did indeed speak
the truth or was just another person seeking fame and fortune. What I found
was a rugged, bulldog, driven individual who was kind, thoughtful and
tenderhearted. He was truly concerned about you and your welfare.
Bill knew that people were badly informed by a society which spoon-feeds
you deception until there is no distinction between fiction and reality. He sees
what many other[s] see happening, and he is not afraid to do something about
it.
There are many who do not want you to know what Bill has to say. They
have tried many times to stop him from saying it. The scars on his face and
the loss of his leg are his badges of sincerity on your behalf.
No one becomes popular by telling people the truth. History records
what happened to the true prophets of the past. However, some have listened
to their warnings and were not caught off-guard. Others have put their heads
in the sand and refused to listen.
Bill has it together, and has put it together for you so you can also be
one of the informed of the world. A well informed person can make the right
decision. William Cooper has my vote of approval because I cared enough to
find out who the man is. Now is your opportunity.
2 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
There have been many related sequential coincidences all throughout
my life, incidents that by themselves would have led nowhere. Statistical-
ly, the odds against the same or a related sequence of events happening to
one individual are astronomically high. It is this series of incidents that
have convinced me that God has had a hand in my life. I do not believe in
fate. I do not believe in accidents.
I cannot and will not accept the theory that long sequences of unrelated
accidents determine world events. It is inconceivable that those with
power and wealth would not band together with a common bond, a com-
mon interest, and a long-range plan to decide and direct the future of the
world. For those with the resources, to do otherwise would be totally
irresponsible. I know that I would be the first to organize a conspiracy to
control the outcome of the future, if I were such a person and a conspiracy
did not yet exist. I would do it in an attempt to ensure the survival of the
principles in which I believe, the survival of my family, my survival, and
the survival of the human race, if for no other reason.
I believe, therefore, that a grand game of chess is being played on a
level that we can barely imagine, and we are the pawns. Pawns are valuable
only under certain circumstances and are frequently sacrificed to gain
an advantage. Anyone who has studied military strategy is familiar with
the concept of sacrifice. Those who have seriously studied history have
probably discovered the real reason we go to war on a regularly scheduled
basis.
Before reading this book I advise you to play at least two complete
games of chess. You must learn the rules THEY play by. You must realize
objectively that some pieces are more valuable than others and that the
king is the most valuable of all. You cannot learn reality if you get caught
up in the fantasy that "if s not fair." You must come to know that the
ultimate outcome of the game is the only thing that counts. You were lied
to when you were told that "it does not matter whether you win or lose, if s
how you play the game." Winning in the world of the elite is everything.
Indeed, it is the only thing. The power elite intend to win.
My research has shown, at this point, that the future laid out for us
may be just about impossible to change. I do not agree with the means by
which the powerful few have chosen for us to reach the end. I do not agree
that the end is where we should end at all. But unless we can wake the
people from their sleep, nothing short of civil war will stop the planned
outcome. I base that statement not on defeatism but on the apathy of the
majority of the American people. Twenty-five years ago I would have
believed otherwise but twenty-five years ago I was also sound asleep.
We have been taught lies. Reality is not at all what we perceive it to be.
William Cooper 3
We cannot survive any longer by hanging onto the falsehoods of the past.
Reality must be discerned at all costs if we are to be a part of the future.
Truth must prevail in all instances, no matter who it hurts or helps, if we are
to continue to live upon this earth. At this point, what we want may no
longer matter. It is what we must do to ensure our survival that counts.
The old way is in the certain process of destruction and a New World Order
is beating down the door.
To cling to the past is guaranteed suicide. To remain apathetic is
assured enslavement. To learn the truth and then act upon it is the only
means of survival at this moment. To shrug off the information contained
in this book and to disregard its warning will result in the complete
destruction of the Republic of the United States of America. You will never
get a second warning or a second chance. Like it or not, this is it, stark
reality. You can no longer turn your head, ignore it, pretend if s not true,
say "it can't happen to me," run, or hide. The wolf is at the door.
I fear for the little ones, the innocents, who are already paying for our
mistakes. There exists a great army of occupationally orphaned children.
They are attending government-controlled day-care centers. And latch-
key kids who are running wild in the streets. And the lop-sided, emotionally
wounded children of single welfare mothers, born only for the sake of
more money in the monthly check. Open your eyes and look at them, for
they are the future. In them I see the sure and certain destruction of this
once-proud nation. In their vacant eyes I see the death of Freedom. They
carry with them a great emptiness and someone will surely pay a great
price for their suffering.
If we do not act in concert with each other and ensure that the future
becomes what we need it to be, then we will surely deserve whatever fate
awaits us.
I believe with all my heart that God put me in places and in positions
throughout my life so that I would be able to deliver this warning to His
people. I pray that I have been worthy and that I have done my job.
THIS IS MY CREED
I believe first in God, the same God in which my ancestors believed. I
believe in Jesus Christ and that he is my saviour. Second, I believe in the
Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America, without
interpretation, as it was written and meant to work. I have given my
sacred oath "to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of
America against all enemies foreign and domestic." I intend to fulfill that
oath. Third, I believe in the family unit and, in particular, my family unit.
I have sworn that I will give my life, if it is required, in defense of God, the
4 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
Constitution, or my family. Fourth, I believe that any man without principles
that he is ready and willing to die for at any given moment is already
dead and is of no use or consequence whatsoever.

FOREWORD
William Cooper and daughter Dorothy
6 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
The one thing that I find most difficult is to write about myself. It is
hard to understand why some people thirst for knowledge about me. It
was never my intention to be anyone's hero. I am certainly no great
example upon which to base one's life. I consider myself a very average
normal kind of guy. I have some pretty good points; I have some human
failings. I am proud of some of my achievements, and there are things that
I wish I had not done. I'm not perfect, and I am not sure that I ever want to
be. But it is certain that I do not belong on anyone's pedestal. I am a man
with a message. And the message will be accepted by only a few. To those
few who will understand, I am your brother. Maybe...we can change the
future for the better.
William Moore, in his disinformation publication entitled "Focus,"
said that I am a fundamentalist preacher. Twenty years ago that would
have been a compliment, but today it implies sleaziness. That is why he
said it. I am not, and have never been any kind of preacher. I am not
starting a church. I am not developing a religion. I do not belong to any
organizations. I do not have an entourage. There is no cult and I am not a
cult leader. No one camps out around my house.
People have called radio talk shows claiming to have first-hand
knowledge that I am a notorious radical right-wing extremist. Others have
said they have proof that I belong to a white racist organization. Someone
said that they found my name on a list of communist party members. A
man in Los Angeles, always the same voice, calls when I am on radio
claiming that I am an alcoholic. The truth is, most of my close friends and
acquaintances consider themselves to be liberal democrats. My only political
stance is Constitutional. My wife is Chinese. That rules out the racist
propaganda. I fought the communists in Vietnam. I will fight them again,
if necessary, but only on United States soil. I used to drink a lot of alcohol
in my younger days. As I became older the booze dwindled to a trickle.
Now I do not drink much at all. Most of my friends have never seen me
take a drink. Annie and I are fond of using wine in our cooking. The lies,
no doubt, will continue.
For the purpose of keeping everything in perspective, let's all under-
stand that attempts to assassinate my character will continue and in all
probability will become worse. Rather than let that get in the way, I want
you to believe everything bad that you ever hear about me. See if that changes
anything that I have been trying to tell you. See if it negates any of the
proof. I believe that is the easiest way to handle those attacks. You who are
sincerely interested in knowing will seek out me or those who are intimate-
ly close to me. Those who do are the only ones who will ever really know
who and what I am.
William Cooper 7
My ancestors came from England, Scotland, and Ireland. I had relatives
who fought on both sides in the Civil War. And some who fought in
the Indian Wars. One of my ancestors was a horse thief in Texas. I don't
know for sure, but I think he got hung for it. When I was a little boy I heard
whispers that there was some Cherokee blood in the family. Every time I
asked about it I was told to shut up. I never could figure out why everyone
was afraid to talk about the Indian blood. I thought, and still think, that it
is something of which to be proud. I have since discovered that the old
folks in my family, like the old folks in almost every family, thought there
was some stigma attached to being part Indian. In the old days on the
American frontier, people lived by hard rules. If you weren't accepted by
your neighbors you were more than likely to end up dead.
My paternal grandmother's family, named Vance, traveled to Texas in
a covered wagon and were some of the first settlers in the area of Odessa.
My great grandfather Vance was a real cowboy who eventually became one
of the first oil-field workers. My great grandmother Vance told me that one
of their first homes was a dugout on the prairie. My great aunt Sister
owned a photo of her father, my great grandfather Vance, standing in front
of a saloon beside his friend. Both men had six-guns stuck in their belts.
When she was about 84 or so she told me that my great grandfather
Vance had gone off to do some work for a rancher. It was during a
particularly nasty Indian uprising. My great grandmother was a newly
married young woman at the time. She rose early one morning and saw
smoke rising from the direction of one of her neighbors. Soon a war party
of five young braves rode up to her dugout. She told me that she was
scared to death but knew if she showed it they would kill her for sure. The
Indians were hungry. Great Grandma Vance made them get down off their
ponies, dragged them inside and fed them. They didn't harm her. After
filling their stomachs they rode off in the direction where she saw smoke
rising later that afternoon. She said that she learned later that she was the
only one in the area that had not been burned out or killed. She was a verybrave woman.
Great Grandma Vance died in a car accident just a short time after
telling me that story. I thought it was a very strange way for her to die. She
went from covered wagons to Fords and Boeing 707s. Grandma Vance saw
just about everything that ever was important in this world happen in her
lifetime.
My paternal grandfather's family also rode across the country in a
covered wagon. They strayed a little north, however, and ended up in the
Indian territory now known as Oklahoma. They were on the front line
during the Oklahoma land rush and succeeded in staking out 320 acres on
8 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
Big Bear Creek near what would eventually become Enid. A little town
sprang up not too far away called Garber. They raised a lot of kids. I
remember my great grandmother cooking the biggest breakfast I had ever
seen. We slept in real feather beds that swallowed us up. We ran to the
outhouse in the middle of the night because we were embarrassed to usethe chamber pot that Great Grandma kept handy under every bed. In themorning everyone would crowd around the wood stove in the kitchen orthe coal stove in the parlor trying to get warm.
My dad had given me a .22 rifle for Christmas and Great Grandma's
farm was the first place that I ever went hunting. I got up before the sun
one morning, tiptoed downstairs, and headed out for the creek. About two
hours later I saw my chance and shot a quail sitting up in a tree. I struttedproudly to the farmhouse holding that quail up for all to see. Luckily the
farmhand saw me first. He burst out laughing and asked me what I
thought I was doing with that sparrow. I ran off and buried that bird and
never said a word to anyone. I learned later that quails don't sit in trees.
For those who may think this to be a terrible thing, I must tell you that
every boy in those days was given a rifle and taught to hunt. During
hunting season many a family managed to put aside some extra money
because the boys brought home meat from the hunt. That money saved
was sorely needed. It was considered a duty for a citizen to own a gun inorder to carry out the intent of the 2nd amendment to the Constitution. Aslong as the citizens owned guns the government could never become
oppressive.
My mother's family came from Scotland and settled in North Carolina.
They were hardworking and thrifty folk. Most of them were poor. Inever knew much more about my mother's family. I don't even remember
anyone talking much about them. I know that my grandmother, Nellie
Woodside, was forced to give up some of her children when her husband
died. There was not enough money to feed all of the kids. My mother was
one of those chosen to live in a children's home until things got better. No
one ever talked about my mother's father. When I asked about my grand-
father I was told, "Red was no good, and you just mind your own busi-
ness." I got the feeling that nobody liked him. He died before I entered this
world.
I was born May 6, 1943. I was reared in a military family. My father isUSAF Lt. Col. (Ret.) Milton V. Cooper. He prefers to be called Jack, the
nickname given to him by the family when he was a boy. Dad began hisAir Force career as a young cadet flying biplanes and retired as a command
pilot with thousands of hours to his credit. I have a picture of him standing
in front of an old biplane in his leather jacket and his cap with the earflaps

just like Snoopy wears.
I can remember the pilots gathered around the kitchen table talking
about the planes and telling stories. Sometimes they discussed strange
things called foo fighters or UFOs. When we were lucky they got out the
projector and showed Kodachrome slides. That was a special treat. By the
time I was eight years old, I think I had already seen and been inside every
plane the Air Force (which used to be the Army Air Force) had ever owned.
I had flown in several. I had seen many of them crash and had friends who
had lost their fathers.
I remember one night in the Azores at Lages Field. We were at the
base theater watching a movie when the projector ground to a stop, the
lights came on and a plea was made for blood donors. We knew there had
been a disaster. Everyone went outside and looked down the hill at the
flightline. It was literally consumed in flames. We could see men on fire
running through the night. A B-29 had crashed. I forget if it had been
taking off or landing; but I will never forget the scene that was spread
before me on that night. No one went back to the movie even though we
had only seen half. I was nine years old but felt much older. I had seen
many crashes, and I would see many more in the years to come. But I never
saw anything that could ever compare to the wreckage, the fire, the devastation,
or the loss of life caused by the crash of that B-29. We left the Azores
a year later. As we climbed into the sky I looked out the plane window. I
could still see pieces of the wreckage where it had been pushed away from
the runways. It was that incident that gave me an appreciation of the
dangers that my dad faced on a daily basis. I knew then how lucky we
were to see him walk in the door. Aviation wasn't safe in those days,
especially for military pilots. We all knew families that had lost someone in
a crash.
I didn't always love my father. He was a strict disciplinarian. My dad
did not believe in "spare the rod" and his belt was put to use frequently in
our family. I was a very sensitive but willful child. Rules didn't mean
much to me until I got caught breaking them. Many times I was the focus
of his anger. Like most kids, I didn't understand. I thought he was a
tyrant. Now I appreciate his upbringing. I know, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that without his strict discipline we most probably would have
turned out bad.
Now I love my Dad. He is my friend. He is an independent, gre-
garious, feisty, tough, confident, adventurous, sometimes overbearing,
handsome, big bear of a man. My mother told me that she fell in love with
him because he looks like John Wayne, and he does. I have watched him
progress from one who disdained any public show of affection to a man
William Cooper 11
who is just as likely to hug you as shake your hand. On the other side, he
has at times made me so angry that I could have punched him in the
mouth, but I never have. If s damn hard for anyone not to like him. He is
always up to some mischief, and I can guarantee you that no one is ever
bored around my father.
My mother is a real Southern lady. They used to call her kind a
Southern belle. She is one of the last of a dying breed. Dovie Nell (Wood-
side) Cooper is the type of woman that men like to dream about when
they're lonely. She is the kindest, gentlest, woman that I have ever known.
I do not make that statement just because she is my mother. It's true. She
was beautiful as a young woman and she is beautiful now. My mother is
one of those people who, once she likes you, can't be driven away. She is
loyal to a fault. I have seen her during the good and during the bad times.
She never flinched, no matter what. It always surprised me that she could
be so tough and yet so kind, gentle, and loving all at the same time. Woe to
anyone who ever harms my dad or one of her children in her presence. She
is the best cook who ever stepped foot in any kitchen that was ever built. I
love my mother probably more than anyone else in this world.
I have a brother Ronnie and a sister Connie. They are fraternal twins
two years younger than me. We were closer than most siblings when we
were children because we spent so much of our life in foreign countries,
where oftentimes we found ourselves unable to communicate except with
each other. We had school friends, but school was often many miles from
where we lived. We had few toys. Most of them were things that mother
gave us such as spools, cigar boxes, string, or anything else that we could
find to keep us occupied. Every Christmas was a delight because we
always got some REAL toys. Ronnie and I had a propensity to see how
things worked, however, so they never lasted long. Everything we wore,
including shoes, was ordered from the Sears catalog. It was the wish book,
and we never tired of looking through it. We alternately loved each other,
hated each other, fought each other, and defended each other, as I guess all
kids do.
Ronnie, his wife Suzie, and their daughter Jennifer live in Garber,
Oklahoma, where Ron sells John Deere farm equipment. Ron & Suzie built
their house with their own hands. As far as I know they intend to live in
that house until they die. Ronnie served as an officer in the Army. In
Vietnam he earned the Silver Star. We haven't seen each other since 1976
after he came to visit me in the hospital after I lost my leg. Nevertheless I
love him and I miss him a lot. Neither one of us can afford to travel much
unless it's business, but one of these days soon I'm going to surprise him
unless visit. Connie has shown me pictures and Ron looks just like my
12 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
great grandfather. Almost every picture I've seen shows Ron in chaps, a
Stetson, boots, and either near or on a horse. I guess that is about how it
should be, as Ronnie always wanted to be a cowboy when he was a child.
Connie has really turned out to be a fine woman. When she was little
I sometimes liked her and sometimes didn't. Little boys don't usually have
much use for little girls. Since we only had each other to play with,
however, Ronnie and I loved her a lot; but little boys just can't ever admit
anything like that. I remember Connie always followed me everywhere I
went. I couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard I tried. Her devotion
and loyalty made me love her all the more. Of course I pretended that she
was a pain in the ass. As we grew older and began to realize that there was
a really big difference between boys and girls Connie began to take on an
air of mystery. From that time until I was about 18 she baffled me com-
pletely. I remember when she was around 13 or so she would throw
temper tantrums when she got angry. She would stomp her feet, scream,
run to her room and then slam the door. Ronnie and I thought it was a
great show but couldn't for love or money understand why she did it.
When we asked mom she would just shake her head and say, "Hormones."
William Cooper, brother Ronnie, sister Connie
William Cooper 13
Connie grew up to be a beautiful woman and eventually married her
high school sweetheart, Gus Deaton. They had two beautiful children,
Janice and Chrissie. Janice is very much like Connie, loving and loyal.
Chrissie is different. She's a redhead who loves to party. I guess Chrissie
represents a freedom of spirit more than anything else.
Connie's marriage deteriorated and no one could figure out what was
happening until Gus was diagnosed as having brain tumors. It was tragic.
Everyone really loved Gus. As his disease progressed and he began to do
crazy things, people just drifted away. I have always nurtured a very
special love for Chrissie. She never deserted her father. When no one else
could stand to be around him, Chrissie chose to go and live with him "so
he won't be lonely," she said. Even now I get all choked up when I think of
that little red-headed girl going to live with her sick father "so he won't be
lonely." His behavior was such that no one else could stand to be around
him. At least that is what I'm told. It wasn't Gus's fault that he became ill
and I've always felt it just wasn't fair to Connie, the children, or Gus. I've
since learned that life is seldom fair.
Connie eventually remarried and moved to Austin, Texas, where she
has established herself as a valuable employee of a large bank. Her husband
is an executive for McGraw Hill. His name, coincidentally, is Ron.
We all really like Ron McClure, especially Dad, who has formed a close
friendship with him. My sister has really blossomed into a wonderful
woman. She has become one of my dearest and closest friends. She has
grown to be so much a part of me that even now I sometimes get a feeling
to look behind me to see if that little girl is still there. I feel a great loss
when I see that if s only Sugarbear, my faithful dog; but then, I love him
too, so can't complain.
I graduated in 1961 from Yamato High School in Japan. That fall I
enlisted in the Air Force. I really wanted to go into the Navy but I had
always had a tendency toward car sickness and seasickness. I attended
basic at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, and Technical School for Aircraft &
Missile Pneudraulics at Amarillo Air Force Base.
Upon completion I was ordered to the 495th Bomb Wing of the
Strategic Air Command at Sheppard Air Force Base just outside Wichita
Falls. The name was later changed to the 4245th Bomb Wing don't ask
me why. In just a short time I had gone from a skinny kid who didn't know
much about anything, even though I thought I did, to an airman who had
a Secret(!) security clearance and worked on B-52 bombers, KC-135 refuel
ing aircraft, and Minuteman missiles.
I saw REAL atomic bombs. I worked around them on a daily basis.
Because of that I had to wear a dosimeter just in case I was exposed to
14 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
radiation. In those days we were the elite of the Air Force and we knew it.
I received a Letter of Commendation for my work. In due time I was
awarded the National Defense Medal and the Air Force Good Conduct
Medal. (Actually, I think everyone was awarded the National Defense
Medal so that no one would be embarrassed standing in formation with
nothing on their chest.)
It was during this time that I met a couple of sergeants who kind of
adopted me. We went out to the clubs together and usually ended up
chasing women and drinking a lot of beer. They told me several stories
about being attached to a special unit that recovered crashed flying saucers.
Sgt. Meese told me that he had been on one operation that transported a
saucer so large that a special team went before them, lowering all telephone
poles and fence posts. Another team followed and replaced them. They
moved it only at night. It was kept parked and covered somewhere off the
road during the day. Since we were always half-tanked when these stories
came out, I never believed them sergeants were known to tell some tall
tales to younger guys like me.
On November 22, 1963, I was on duty as CQ (Charge of Quarters) for
the Field Maintenance Squadron. Most of the men were out on the flight-
line working, the barracks orderlies had been assigned their tasks, the first
sergeant was gone somewhere, and I was alone. I turned on the orderly
room TV to watch the live broadcast of the President's motorcade in Dallas.
I was not prepared for what I saw. I stared in disbelief as the events
unfurled in front of my eyes. I knew that something had happened, but
what? I had seen and heard the assassination, but my mind was not
accepting it. I kept staving at the set to discover what it was that had
happened when slowly the realization crept over me. A numbness spread
up my arms and legs. I saw what had happened! The hair stood up on the
back of my neck and a chill went down my spine. President Kennedy had
been shot right in front of my eyes!
At that point huge tears began to stream down my face. Waves of
emotion rushed through my body. I felt that I had to do something, so I
picked up the direct line to the command center. I choked back the tears.
When the command duty officer answered, I told him that the President
had just been shot in Dallas. There was a pause, and he asked me, "How
do you know he has been shot?" I told him that 1 had watched it on
television and then hung up the phone. I was numb all over.
A few minutes later the command duty officer called back and ordered
a red alert at DEFCON TWO (Defense Condition Two meant war was
imminent). The roar of jet engines could already be heard as the alert crews
taxied their planes toward the runway. I was scared shitless as I ran from
William Cooper 15
barracks to barracks routing out the night shift and those who had the day
off. We had been told that we had about 15 minutes to launch all of our
planes before the first atomic bomb would hit us in the event that theRussians launched an attack.
I didn't even lock up the orderly room. I just jumped in the first car I
saw, rode to the SAC compound/ and reported to my red alert duty station.
For the next three days I slept under the belly of a B-52 bomber staring atthe Armageddon that hid just inside the closed bomb-bay doors. We
thought the shit had finally hit the fan. It was a great relief when the alertwas ended. I left the Air Force with an honorable discharge in 1965.
In December of the same year I joined the Navy. I had always loved
the ocean. I had wanted to be a sailor since I was a little boy. Seasick or not
I made up my mind to follow my dream. I was sent to the Naval Training
Center in San Diego for boot camp. Because of my prior Air Force experience
I was made the Recruit Chief Company Commander. I was
allowed to keep my same rank and pay grade. We had a good bunch of
guys in my company and we had a great company commander. Chief
Campbell, chief electricians mate. He turned the company over to me. Thechief was a good man. He was only interested in teaching us what weneeded to know and in keeping us out of trouble. Unlike most boot camp
instructors, Chief Campbell had no axe to grind and wasn't trying to prove
anything to himself or anyone else. He was truly our friend.
During boot camp I volunteered for submarines (my sense of adven-
ture was very strong). I was accepted, and upon completion of basic
training, was ordered to the USS Tiru (SS-416) at the submarine base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Spitfire and damnation, no one could possibly bethat lucky! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read my orders. Here I wasfulfilling my dream of being in the Navy. I got exactly what I asked for the
first time that I asked for it, which was extremely rare in any branch of
military service. And to top it all off, I was being sent to Hawaii, the land
of tropical paradise. I was in seventh heaven.
I landed in Hawaii with no time to play and took a cab directly to the
sub base. My submarine was nowhere to be found. I kept asking peopleuntil I found someone who told me that my boat (subs are called boats in
the Navy) was not at the sub base but in dry dock in the Pearl Harbor Naval
Shipyard. I hailed another cab.
The cab driver dropped me off at the head of a pier that looked like it
had never been cleaned up after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. It wascovered with what appeared to be hoses, huge electrical cables, rusting
metal of every conceivable size and shape that you can imagine. The air
was rank with the smell of diesel, welding fumes, paint, and steel. If there
16 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
is a hell on earth, I thought, this has to be it. I walked up the pier, over to
the edge, and looked down into the dry dock. There, stripped of all dignity,
lying naked and cut cleanly in half, was my boat, the USS Tiru. Men were
scrambling all over it. They looked like ants swarming over a dead grasshopper.
Brilliant flashes of light brighter than the sun drove sparks high
into the air and then down in a beautiful flow to the bottom of the dock. I
couldn't believe my eyes. Someone actually expected me to go out to sea,
then underwater, in what appeared to me to be a motley collection of
cut-up rusting metal scavenged from some satanic junkyard, stuck
together by demons with welding torches. My luck had just run out.
I reported to the barracks barge moored in the water on the other side
of the pier and was given a hammock for when I had the duty; then I was
sent to the sub base barracks where I was assigned a rack and a locker. I
wanted to go into Honolulu but quickly discovered non-quals did not rate
liberty. It was getting worse.
The next few months were spent sanding, painting, lifting, and learn-
ing the boat. The men of the crew, except for the chief cook, were great.
The chief cook was drunk every minute of the day and night. He didn't
like me, so I didn't get much to eat. His dislike stemmed from my first
morning when I walked into the galley and watched as the other crew
members ordered their breakfast. When there was an opening I stepped
up and asked for eggs over easy. That's when the chief hit the overhead
and vowed that I would never eat a meal in his mess decks. He wasn't
kidding, either. The only time after that morning that I got anything to eat
out of that galley was when the chief cook was ashore.
To this day I still don't know what I did wrong. I could have gone to
the captain, but if I had done that I might as well have put in for a transfer
at the same time. It wasn't long, though, before I was able to locate where
he hid his booze. I made his life miserable from that moment on. I won't
tell you what I laced his vodka with, but it wasn't anything you'd ever
want to drink, believe me. I kept that chief so sick that he was transferred
off the boat for medical reasons. I didn't want to hurt him, but it was either
get rid of him or starve to death. I made up my mind that chief or no chief
I wasn't going to go to sea on a boat that wouldn't feed me.
I didn't relish going to sea with a drunk chief in charge of closing the
main induction valve when the boat made a dive. When a submarine goes
underwater certain valves MUST be closed or the boat will flood with
water and everyone will drown. The main induction is the MOST IMPORTANT
of those valves. It was the cook's duty to close it, because the valve
was in the galley on board the USS Tiru.
I made two especially close friends while on the Tiru. A black seaman
William Cooper 17
named Lincoln Loving and an American Indian seaman we called Gero-
nimo. The three of us were inseparable. Lincoln was best man at my first
marriage. Of the three Geronimo was the most experienced seaman, so he
taught Lincoln and me. He knew everything there was to know about the
boat, rope, paint, and a whole lot of other things that a man had to know to
survive in the Navy. I knew the most about getting along in the military, so
I taught Geronimo and Lincoln. Lincoln knew every really good spot on
the Island where we could have a good time, so he led the liberty party.
Three things really stand out in my mind about the time that I spent on
the Tiru. The first was an incident that occurred during a test dive while
we were creeping along at about 3 or 4 knots at a depth of 600 feet off the
Island of Oahu. Lincoln and I had just been relieved from watch and were
in the after battery talking when we were knocked off our feet. We heard a
loud CLANG forward and felt the boat lunge to port. Then we heard a
sound that made our blood run cold. I could literally feel the blood drain
from my face as I listened to whatever it was that we hit scrape along the
starboard side of the hull. Lincoln and I froze. We held our breath as metal
screeched upon metal. I thought it would never end. No one moved,
anywhere.
Finally, after what seemed a lifetime, the boat lurched and the noise
disappeared aft. If it had pierced the hull none of us would be alive today.
We never found out what it was. When we returned to Pearl, divers went
down to have a look. When they surfaced they reported that the starboard
bowplane was damaged and the hull was gouged all along the starboard
side from bow to stern. We went in for repairs. In a couple of days we were
good as new, but I certainly had an entirely different perspective on life.
The second thing that stands out happened to another boat that had
been out participating in torpedo attack exercises with another submarine.
I remember seeing the boat entering the harbor with a large tarp over the
conning tower. I could see something holding the tarp up on each side of
the tower but I couldn't see what it was. Later, Geronimo, Lincoln and I
walked over where the boat was berthed and looked under the tarp. The
other boat in the exercise had scored a direct hit! What we saw was a
torpedo sticking completely through the sail. We started laughing. Then
we looked at each other and decided that it wasn't so funny after all. This
submarine business was not quite as attractive as I'd thought.
Number three happened during a transit between the Portland-Seattle
area and Pearl Harbor. I was the port lookout during the afternoon watch
(1200 to 1600 hours). Geronimo was the starboard lookout. Ensign Ball
was the OOD (Officer of the Deck). We were doing 10 knots on the surface
and the three of us were on the bridge in the conning tower. It was a bright
18 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
day, but the sun was obscured by a low layer of clouds. It was cool. We
had a bit of fun when someone below requested permission to put a man
on deck forward to get something that was needed from the waterproof
deck locker. The locker was under the deck plate all the way up on the bow
near the forward torpedo-room escape trunk. Geronimo and I laughed
when Ensign Ball gave his approval. He really shouldn't have, because we
were running a pressure wave over the bow. When we saw who it was
they had sent on deck we roared with laughter. We looked down over the
side of the sail at the deck-level door just as it popped open and Seaman
Lincoln Loving stuck his head out. He didn't look happy.
Lincoln reached down and put the runner in the safety track in the
deck, fastened the safety belt around his waist and, grabbing the handrail,
stepped out on deck. He looked up at us with that "don't you laugh at me"
look that he did so well. It took him a few minutes to get up the nerve to
let go of the handrail and begin to make his way forward against the wind
and the pitching deck. Gingerly, he crept forward until he was just at the
point where the pressure wave was rolling off the deck when the bow
heaved free of the water on its cyclical upswing.
I could see that Lincoln was trying to time a run forward when the
bow was out of the water. He made a couple of false starts, then ran
slipping on the wet deck, disappearing into the access hole for the forward
torpedo-room escape hatch. The bow plunged underwater and I found
myself sucking air as I imagined the cold saltwater swirling around me. It
wasn't me, though, it was Lincoln. I gripped the top of the sail as I waited
for the bow to swing up, hoping that Lincoln wouldn't panic.
What we saw next could have been a clip from one of those old
Keystone Cops movies. Lincoln was flailing water so hard that it looked
like he had 40 arms and 40 legs. It was only then that I realized that Lincoln
had joined the Navy but he didn't know how to swim. When he finally
gathered a foothold, the half-drowned seaman exploded up out of that hole
like a Polaris missile and ran back to the conning tower just as fast as his
wet leather soles would carry him.
Ensign Ball, Geronimo, and I laughed for a good ten minutes. In fact,
every time we saw Lincoln for the next two days we would burst out
laughing. Lincoln didn't think it was funny and didn't miss a chance to
slug us every time we laughed.
Lincoln went below. Geronimo and I began the unending task of
sweeping the horizon from bow to stern, then the sky from horizon to
zenith, and then back to the horizon from bow to stern. Again and again,
and then a pause to rest our eyes and chat for a few minutes. I asked
Ensign Ball to call for some hot coffee. As he bent over the 1MC, I turned,
William Cooper 19
raising my binoculars to my eyes just in time to see a huge disk rise from
beneath the ocean, water streaming from the air around it, tumble lazily on
its axis, and disappear into the clouds. My heart beat wildly. I tried to talk
but couldn't; then I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to say
that, anyway. I had seen a flying saucer the size of an aircraft carrier come
right out of the ocean and fly into the clouds. I looked around quickly to
see if anyone else had seen it. Ensign Ball was still bending over the IMC.
He was ordering coffee. Geronimo was looking down the starboard side
aft.
I was torn between my duty to report what I had seen and the knowledge
that if I did no one would believe me. As I looked out over the ocean
I saw only sky, clouds, and water.
It was as if nothing had happened. I almost thought I had dreamed it.
Ensign Ball straightened, turned toward Geronimo and said the coffee was
on the way up.
I looked back toward the spot, about 15 degrees relative off the port
bow, and about 2-1/2 nautical miles distant. Nothing, not even a hint of
what had happened. "Ensign Ball," I said, "I thought I saw something
about 15 degrees relative off the bow, but I lost it. Can you help me look
over that area?" Ensign Ball turned, raising his glasses to eye level. I didn't
know it at the time, but Geronimo had heard me and turned to look. He
was happy that something had broken the monotony.
I was just lifting the binoculars off my chest when I saw it. The giant
saucer shape plunged out of the clouds, tumbled, and, pushing the water
before it, opened up a hole in the ocean and disappeared from view. It was
incredible. This time I had seen it with my naked eyes, and its size in
comparison with the total view was nothing short of astounding. Ensign
Hall stood in shock, his binoculars in his hands, his mouth open. Geronimo
yelled, "Holy shit! What the hey! did you guys see that?" Ensign Ball
turned, and looking right at me with the most incredulous look on his face,
said in a low voice, "This had to happen on my watch!" He turned, quickly
pressing the override on the IMC and yelled, "Captain to the bridge,
Captain to the bridge." As an afterthought he pressed the switch again and
yelled, "Somebody get a camera up here."
The Captain surged up the ladder with the quartermaster on his heels.
Chief Quartermaster Quintero had the ship's 35-mm camera slung around
his neck. The Captain stood patiently while Ensign Ball tried to describe
what he had seen. He glanced at us and we both nodded in affirmation.
That was enough for the Captain. He called sonar, who during the excitement
had reported contact underwater at the same bearing. The Captain
announced into the 1MC, "This is the Captain. I have the conn." The reply
20 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
came back instantly from the helm, "Aye, Aye sir." I knew that the helms-
man was passing the word in the control room that the Captain had
personally taken control of the boat. I also knew that rumors were probab-
ly flying through the vessel.
The Captain called down and ordered someone to closely monitor the
radar. His command was instantly acknowledged. As the five of us stood
gazing out over the sea the same ship or one exactly like it rose slowly,
turned in the air, tilted at an angle and then vanished. I saw the Chief
snapping pictures out of the corner of my eye.
This time I had three images from which to draw conclusions. It was
a metal machine, of that there was no doubt whatsoever. It was intelligent-
ly controlled, of that I was equally sure. It was a dull color, kind of like
pewter. There were no lights. There was no glow. I thought I had seen a
row of what looked like portholes, but could not be certain. Radar reported
contact at the same bearing and gave us a range of 3 nautical miles. The
range was right on, as the craft had moved toward the general direction
that we were headed. We watched repeatedly as the strange craft reentered
the water and then subsequently rose into the clouds over and over again
until finally we knew that it was gone for good. The episode lasted about
10 minutes.
Before leaving the bridge the Captain took the camera from the Chief
and instructed each of us not to talk to anyone about what we had seen. He
told us the incident was classified and we were not to discuss it, not even
amongst ourselves. We acknowledged his order. The Captain and the
Chief left the bridge. Ensign Ball stepped to the 1MC and, pressing the
override switch, announced, "This is Ensign Ball. The Captain has left the
bridge. I have the conn." The reply, "Aye aye sir," quickly followed.
Those of us who had witnessed the UFO were not allowed to go
ashore after we had berthed in Pearl. Even those of us who didn't have the
duty were told we had to stay aboard. After about two hours a commander
from the Office of Naval Intelligence boarded. He went directly to the
Captain's stateroom. It wasn't long before we were called to wait in the
passageway outside the Captain's door. Ensign Ball was called first. After
about 10 minutes he came out and went into the wardroom. He looked
shaken. I was next.
When I entered the stateroom, the Commander was holding my service
record in his hands. He wanted to know why I had gone from the Air
Force into the Navy. I told him the whole story and he laughed when I said
that after putting off the Navy for fear of chronic seasickness, I hadn't been
seasick yet. Suddenly a mask dropped over his face, and looking me
directly in the eyes he asked, "What did you see out there?"
WilliamCooper 21
"I believe it was a flying saucer, sir," I answered.
The man began to visibly shake and he screamed obscenities at me.
He threatened to put me in the brig for the rest of my life. I thought he
wasn't going to stop yelling, but as suddenly as he began, he stopped.
I was confused. I had answered his question truthfully; yet I was
threatened with prison. I was not afraid, but I was not very confident,
either. I figured I had better take another tack. Eighteen years with my
father and four years in the Air Force had taught me something. Number
one was that officers just do not lose control like that, ever. Number two
was that if my answer had elicited that explosion, then the next thing out of
my mouth had better be something entirely different. Number three was,
that his response had been an act of kindness to get me to arrive at exactly
that conclusion.
"Let's start all over again," he said. "What did you see out there?"
"Nothing, sir," I answered. "I didn't see a damn thing, and I'd like to
get out of here just as soon as possible."
A smile spread over his face and the Captain looked relieved. "Are
you sure, Cooper?" he asked.
"Yes sir," I replied, "I'm sure."
"You're a good sailor, Cooper," he said. 'The Navy needs men like
You'll go far with the Navy." He then asked me to read several pieces
of paper that all said the same thing only with different words. I read that
if I ever talked about what it was that I didn't see, I could be fined up to
$10,000 and imprisoned for up to 10 years or both. In addition I could lose
all pay and allowances due or ever to become due. He asked me to sign a
piece of paper stating that I understood the laws and regulations that I had
just read governing the safeguard of classified information relating to the
national security. By signing, I agreed never to communicate in any manner
any information regarding the incident with anyone. I was dismissed,
and boy, was I glad to get out of there.
Not long after that incident I devolunteered from submarines. I was
transferred to the USS Tombigbee (AOG-11).
The Tombigbee was a gasoline tanker. It was more dangerous than the
sub. The Captain was crazy and the crew was a combination of idiots and
misfits. I once had to draw my pistol while I was petty officer of the watch
to prevent an officer from being attacked by a seaman.
The Tombigbee collided in the dead of night with a destroyer in the
Molokai channel and several men died when the destroyer was almost cut
in half. Every day aboard that ship was exactly like a scene right out of Mr.
Roberts. I struck for quartermaster (navigation specialist) and managed to
advance to the rank of second class petty officer despite the obvious
22 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
obstacles.
I made two WESTPAC tours aboard the Tombigbee. They included a
total of 12 months off the coast of Vietnam. We came under machine-gun
fire while anchored off Chu Lai. We had to do an emergency breakaway
and leave the harbor. All we needed was one tracer round in one of the
tanks, and KA-BOOM, it would have been all over. The Viet Cong gunner
probably got busted because the stupid jerk missed the whole damn ship.
HOW CAN YOU MISS A WHOLE SHIP?
The only other time I felt threatened was when we went up to a small
outpost at the DM2 called Cua Viet. It was a vision right out of hell. Cua
Viet sat on the southern bank at the river mouth of the Thack Han river. We
rode at anchor and pumped fuel ashore through a bottom lay line. Every
night we could see the tracers from fire fights raging up and down the river
and along the DMZ. It was a real hot spot. Every once in awhile Viet Cong
or NVA rockets would slam into the camp. We would perform an emergency
breakaway and put to sea until the all clear was sounded.
Everything was cool until our whacko Captain decided we were going
into the river mouth. Did you ever try to put a pencil through the eye of a
needle? Thaf s about comparable to what we did. I'll never know how we
got that big ship through the narrow mouth of that river with no navigational
references whatsoever. We dropped anchor midchannel and the
Captain backed the ship right up to the beach and dropped the stern
anchor into the sand. There we sat, a great big target full of gasoline. We
were helpless in the mouth of a narrow river, with three anchors out, right
in the middle of one of the hottest combat zones in Vietnam. That night
several men in the crew wrote letters to the Chief of Naval Operations
requesting an immediate transfer. No one slept. I don't know why the
enemy didn't send in the rockets, but they didn't. I knew then that God
must keep a special watch over fools. The next day we set to sea and
started for Pearl. The Captain was relieved for incompetence later that
year. Then I was transferred to school.
I didn't know what school I had drawn. It turned out to be the Naval
Security and Intelligence School for Internal Security Specialist (NEC 9545).
The general training prepared me to set up security perimeters, secure
installations and buildings, and safeguard classified information. My
training included special weapons, booby-trap identification and disarm-
ing, the detection of bugs, phone taps, transmitters and many other sub-
jects. I was specifically trained to prepare and conduct Pacific-area
intelligence briefings. From the day I reported to school in 1968 until I left
the Navy I worked off and on for Naval Security and Intelligence,
Upon graduating I was transferred to Vietnam. I had volunteered
William Cooper 23
over a year before because I figured that my chances were better in the war
than they were on that screwed-up gasoline tanker. This was the first good
news I'd had since leaving boot camp. I really wanted to fight for my
country. I wasn't to find out what a real fool I was until a few years later.
I landed at Da Nang and was bused to Camp Carter, the headquarters
for Naval Security and Intelligence in I Corps. I was interviewed by
Captain Carter, the commanding officer. The names turned out to be a
coincidence. Captain Carter asked me if I thought I would make a good
patrol boat captain, and I told him that I would. What else could I tell him?
I thought he was joking when he told me I would have command of a boat
and crew. He wasn't, and I did. Lt. Duey at the Harbor Patrol, a division
of Naval Intelligence, allowed me to hand-pick a crew. He gave me first
choice of four 45-foot picket boats that had just been unloaded from the
deck of a freighter. I and my new crew spent three days going over every
inch of that boat. We adjusted and fine-tuned everything. We sanded and
painted. One of the seamen even hung curtains in the after cabin. We
checked and double-checked the engines. My gunners mate, GMG3
Robert G. Barron, checked out weapons and we began to arm our vessel.
I've got to tell you the truth just looking at all those guns scared the shit
out of me. I vowed right then and there that I would be the best damn
captain that ever commanded a combat vessel in wartime. I learned to
exist an only 2 or 3 hours of sleep out of 24 and never ate until I knew that
my crew had been fed.
We spent a lot of spooky nights patrolling the Da Nang harbor and
river. One night a rocket hit the ammo dump at the river's edge near the
Da Nang bridge, and it really looked as if the world was coming to an end.
Another time we engaged the enemy in the cove at Point Isabella near the
marine fuel farm and probably saved their butts. That engagement was
reported in The Stars and Stripes, the armed forces newspaper in Vietnam.
The worst moments came, however, not from Charley but from
mother nature. A full-blown typhoon roared across the Gulf of Tonkin. To
save the boats we put to sea. The angels must have been laughing. What a
sight we must have made! I maneuvered our boat in between two giant
cargo ships riding at anchor off Red Beach and learned quickly what fear
was really all about. The wind was blowing so hard that none of us could
go on deck. That meant that the two of us in the pilot house were stuck on
watch and the men trapped in the after cabin had to man the hand pumps.
The windows in the pilot house blew out and the rain felt like knives
hitting our skin. Water poured in, and I prayed that the men on the pumps
would not become exhausted. I could just barely make out the two tankers.
I could tell they were in more trouble than we. When we were on the crest
24 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
of the mountainous waves we looked down onto the top of the ships.
When we were in the trough we seemed to be in danger of their crashing
down upon us. One of the freighters snapped a cable and steamed slowly
out of the harbor.
The next morning the storm calmed and we moved into the river.
Debris was floating down and we had to play dodge-the-tree-trunks until
we spotted a sheltered pier in front of the Press Club. We carefully pulled
the boat alongside, tied fast to the pier, then collapsed from exhaustion.
After awhile we drew straws to see who would remain on watch with me.
The rest went into the Press Club. After a couple of hours the crew
returned and we went in. It was like nothing was going on outside.
Reporters sat around drinking or eating. All around flowed conversation
and laughter. We ordered a huge meal, signed Lt. Duey's name to the
check, then went out to the boat. I don't know whose name the other guys
signed, but none of us had any money. I don't even know if Lt. Duey ever
got the bill. I do know that it was one of the best damn meals that we ever
had in that country.
The next two days were spent in repairing the boat, cleaning the
weapons, and checking everything. Then we went to the club, got stone
drunk, and slept for damn near a whole other day.
Bob Barron volunteered for Cua Viet. I begged him to stay with us.
Maybe we could all go up later together. He couldn't wait; he had to have
action. We promised each other that if one of us bought the farm the other
would drink a bottle of scotch in memory, then break the bottle on the
rocks. Don't ask me what that was all about. Men who think they might
die at any given moment do stupid things and I was no different than most.
About three weeks later we learned that Bob's boat had gone on TWO
LIMA patrol on the Thack Han River one night and had never returned.
No radio transmissions were ever heard. And for awhile no bodies were
found. Then one by one they popped to the surface along the bank. It was
a long time before we ever found the boat. When we did it was twisted up
like a pretzel. I say "we," because after I drank the bottle of scotch and
broke it on the rocks, I forced the issue and was transferred to the Dong Ha
River Support Group at Cua Viet.
It was now a personal war. They had killed a part of me. Bob had
been my friend. His name is on the Vietnam Memorial. My boat engaged
the enemy more times than any other boat that ever patrolled that river.
We kept the enemy off the river and I never lost another man. I was
awarded the Naval Achievement Medal with Combat V, the Naval Commendation
Medal with Combat V, and the Combat Action Ribbon. Our
whole organization was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, the Naval
William Cooper 25
Unit Citation, and each of us accumulated various other minor awards,
ribbons, and medals.
On a Patrol Boat
One thing I didn't like about Vietnam was that it was very difficult to
maintain unit cohesion and morale when you had proven and trusted men
leaving all the time at staggered intervals and green, unproven men arriv-
ing to take their place. I noticed that I felt like I was deserting my crew
when I was rotated home. I tried to extend my tour of duty, but they had
already decided to phase out our forces and turn the war over to the
Vietnamese. If I had extended a month earlier, I was told, I could have
stayed. My attitude at that point was a smoldering "SCREW IT!"
The whole time that I was in Vietnam and especially on the DMZI had
noticed that there was a lot of UFO activity. We had individual 24-hour
crypto code sheets that we used to encode messages, but because of the
danger that one of them could be captured at any time, we used special
code words for sensitive information. UFOs, I was told, were definitely
sensitive information. I learned exactly how sensitive when all the people
of an entire village disappeared after UFOs were seen hovering above their
huts. I learned that both sides had fired upon the UFOs, and they had
blasted back with a mysterious blue light. Rumors floated around that
UFOs had kidnapped and mutilated two army soldiers, then dropped
them in the bush. No one knew how much of this was true, but the fact that
the rumors persisted made me tend to think there was at least some truth
26 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
in them. I found out later that most of those rumors were true.
I eventually found myself back in Hawaii. This time it was shore duty
at the headquarters of the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet at
Makalapa, a hill above Pearl Harbor.
I had carried a Secret security clearance in the Air Force, and Secret
was required for submarines. When I checked into the Fleet Administra-
tion Unit, I was asked to fill out papers for another clearance. I did as I was
asked. I remember that one of the questions asked if I had ever belonged to
any fraternal organizations. I looked down the list, circled the DeMolay
Society, and answered in the affirmative. I was assigned to the Operational
Status Report office (OPSTAT) under Lt. Cdr. Mercado while I awaited the
results of my FBI background check for the upgraded clearance.
About six months later I was called into the office of the Chief of Staff
for Naval Intelligence. I was asked to read the regulations covering the
Personnel Reliability Program governing those personnel who had access
to nuclear weapons, information on nuclear weapons, launch codes, and
various other things having to do with nuclear weapons or anything that
came under HQ-CR 44. I was asked to read and then sign a security oath,
which I did. I was then told by Captain Caldwell that my security clearance
had been upgraded to Top Secret, Q, Sensitive Compartmentalized
Information with access authorized on a strict need-to-know basis. He told
me to report to the officer in charge of the CINCPACFLT Intelligence
William Cooper 27
Briefing Team the following morning at 0400 hours. I did. What I learned
during the time I spent with that briefing team is what led me on my
18-year search that has culminated in the writing of this book. I was later
given another upgraded clearance in the crypto category and served as the
designated SPECAT operator when I was on watch in the command center.
On the day that I learned that the Office of Naval Intelligence had
participated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and that it
was the Secret Service agent driving the limo that had shot Kennedy in the
head, I went AWOL with no intention of ever returning. My good friend
Bob Swan is the one who talked me into going back. Later, on June 1, 1972,
the eve of my wedding, I told Bob everything that I knew about the UFOs,
Kennedy's assassination, the Navy, the Secret Government, the coming ice
age, Alternatives 1, 2, & 3, Project GALILEO, and the plan for the New
World Order. I believed it was all true then and I believe it is all true now.
I must warn you, however, that I have found evidence that the secret
societies were planning as far back as 1917 to invent an artificial threat from
outer space in order to bring humanity together in a one-world govern-
ment which they call the New World Order. I am still searching for the
truth. I firmly believe that this book is closer to that truth than anything
ever previously written.
I attempted to leak information to a reporter after my discharge. I was
forced off a cliff by a black limo in the hills of Oakland. Two men got out
and climbed down to where I lay covered in blood. One bent down and felt
for my carotid pulse. The other asked if I was dead. The nearest man said,
"No, but he will be." The other replied, "Good, then we don't have to do
anything else." They climbed up and drove off. I succeeded in climbing
up the bank where I waited until found. A month later I was forced into
another accident by the same limo. This time I was to lose my leg. Two
men visited me in the hospital. They only wanted to know if I would shut
up or if the next time should be final. I told them that I would be a very
good little boy and that they needn't worry about me anymore. Under my
breath I swore to spill the beans as soon as I could figure out how to do it
without unit getting hurt again. It took 16 years, $27,000, a computer and a lot
of envelopes, but now everyone knows.
I went back to school after leaving the Navy and obtained a degree in
photography, served as the Chief Instructor of the Coastal School of Deep
Sea Diving, the head of the Mixed Gas Deep Saturation Diving Department
and the underwater photography instructor for the College of Oceaneering,
Admissions representative for Airco Technical Institute, Assistant
Director of Adelphi Business College, Executive Director of Adelphi Business
College, National Marketing Coordinator of United Education &
28 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
Software, Executive Director of Pacific Coast Technical Institute, and Executive
Director of National Technical College. I also owned and operated
Absolute Image Gallery and Studio of Fine Art Photography.
In the spring of 1988 I saw a magazine that made reference to a
document discovered by the research team of Moore, Shandera, and Fried-
man that outlined the government's knowledge of a downed saucer, dead
alien bodies, and an operation called Operation MAJESTIC TWELVE. I
knew that Moore and Friedman were government agents and the document
was a fraud. I had never heard of Shandera. I knew this because I
had seen a list of agents who were to initiate a contingency plan called
MAJESTIC that would lead investigators off the track when such a need
arose.
I decided that it was time for me to enter the arena and expose the
cover-up and the disinformation. First it was necessary to convince the
known agents that I was just a kook who didn't really know anything. I
prepared some bogus information, mixed it with some true information,
and passed it to Moore and Friedman through Jim Spieser, the operator of
a computer BBS network called Paranet. Spieser was told that the information
was to go only to Moore or Friedman; no one else was to see it. I
wanted to buy time by convincing these agents to report me to their case
officers as harmless, thus allowing me to get the real information out to the
public. None of that information was intended to go to the public. Spieser
turned out to be working with Moore, however, and posted the files on the
computer networks. Spieser then went to Los Angeles, conferred with
Moore for three days, then returned and barred me from the Paranet
system.
Friedman called and elicited my address, the name and address of my
employer, and a lot of other personal information. I knew that I was being
checked out through the intelligence network and played along. About
one week after talking to Friedman two Defense Investigative Service
agents showed up at my home and confiscated all my floppy disks. The
only thing that prevented them from taking my computer was the fact that
it was an XT with no hard drive. I knew that my plan had worked, because
they didn't take me.
With the help of Annie and a few very close and trusted friends, I
prepared the real information, as true and correct as I could remember, and
together we did a mailing that, all total, cost me $27,000. We sent the
packages to people all over the world. That is what prevented the govern-
ment from arresting me or harming me. Any move by them would be
interpreted as total confirmation of everything that I had revealed. I also
uploaded the information onto computer bulletin boards all across the
William Cooper 29
nation. At the same time I publicly stated that Moore, Shandera, and
Friedman are government agents and that the Eisenhower briefing document
is a fraud. I was attacked by everyone. They insisted that Moore,
Shandera, and Friedman were above reproach.
I resigned effective April 15,1989, from the college where I was the
Executive Director after Jaime Shandera was seen poking around the
grounds. That story is included later in this book. The loss of income was
a serious blow. Stan Barrington, the head of the college security depart-
ment, came to our aid. Stan gave us $5,000 to help out. I was deeply
moved by his faith and trust in me, and so I gave him 24% of whatever was
to come out of my efforts down the line. Neither of us ever expected much,
and so far we have not been wrong. I have, however, paid Stan back his
money, and now whatever he earns is extra. Stan is in charge of printing
information and the sale of my papers and tapes. Stan Barrington is my
only authorized representative.
Moore was proved to be an agent when by his own admission on July
1, 1989, he stated he had participated in spying on fellow researchers, had
changed documents, had put out disinformation, and had helped run a
scam on Paul Bennowicz that had resulted in Mr. Bennowicz being con-
fined to a mental institution. Moore stated that he had been recruited by an
intelligence agency and that he knew he had been recruited. He was a
witting agent. No one acknowledged that I had been right.
From that point on, my Annie and I were followed and harassed.
Death threats began showing up on our answering machine. The phone
would ring several times during the night, but no one would reply when
we answered. Sometimes a man would deliver another death threat.
Government cars would park in front and well-dressed men watched the
house. The strangest people began to show up at our door, sometimes in
the middle of the night. I purchased a .380 automatic for Annie and a 9-mm
for me. I taught Annie how to shoot, and she will not hesitate to kill anyone
who attempts to harm me, her, or our little daughter.
Annie and Pooh (Dorothy's nickname) are the lights in my life. Annie
and I were married on July 4,1989. Pooh was born on May 30,1990. My
most touching memory of Annie is of the time after 12 hours of labor when
we were finally in the delivery room. She had taken no drugs. She had not
been given a spinal tap. She did everything naturally. She was drained of
energy and was experiencing great pain. She was numb. After a really
hard push she looked up at me with all the innocence and trust of a little
child and asked, "Did the baby come yet?" It was very hard for me to tell
her that the baby had not yet been born, but that is what I did. She seemed
to waver for a moment, but only a moment. Annie quickly regained her
30 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
composure. I could see the love in her eyes as she looked up at me. I
squeezed her hand. She took a deep breath and pushed Pooh's little head
out into the world. The doctor suctioned the baby's mouth, then Annie
gave her all, a push that seemed to come from her very soul and little
Dorothy popped out, announcing her presence with a great cry. I am so
proud of Annie. She is my hero. And Pooh is my always and forever
friend.

At one point I became very upset with the intimidation. I went out to
the government car at the curb. I showed the man in the car my 9-mm
pistol and told him that we were fed up with their intimidating tactics. I
told him that if he or anyone else wanted to know something about me,
they should come to the house, sit down, have a cup of coffee, and I would
be happy to tell them anything that they want to know. I informed him that
if any further attempt was made to harass me or my family I would not
hesitate to use my pistol. I then walked behind his car and wrote the
license number down. He started the car, drove off, and we have not
detected any overt signs of surveillance since that day.
They did not give up on us. No one knew the location of our new
house when we moved to Arizona. However, when we drove into the
driveway, a government car showed up right behind us. The man got out
and said he was lost and wanted to know who lived here. I asked him why
he wanted to know. He stated that he was a census taker. He said it was his
job to ensure that no one out here in the country was left out of the census.
He asked my name. I told him to get off the property and to not ever come
back. He protested, but left when he saw that I was serious. (I merely
asked Annie to get my pistol out of the car.) Now, many people would say
that I was paranoid in this instance until they discover that census
takers DO NOT DRIVE GOVERNMENT CARS.
I was at the post office one morning when a county sheriff's deputy
asked the clerk at the window next to the one where I was buying stamps
if "William Cooper" had rented a box. I smiled as the clerk handed him my
rental agreement and he copied the information. He didn't learn anything,
as we live in the country where there are no addresses. The form had only
"Stolen Blvd." listed a lot of people live on Stolen Boulevard.
We have been taken advantage of by every crooked con man, TV
producer, scriptwriter, author, and flim-flam expert that there is in this
country. I have learned that the TV and print-media reporters and
producers that I have met are a pack of liars. They are not objective and
don't give a damn about the truth. The only really open media left to the
public is talk radio, and even talk radio won't discuss certain subjects. My
material has been copied, changed, and even plagiarized. A lot of people
have used my material to make money without my knowledge or permis-
sion. A Hollywood producer wanted to buy the exclusive rights to my
story for ONE DOLLAR!
Bill Hamilton begged me to let him include my material in his book
entitled Alien Magic. He pretended to be a friend and I let him. I asked for
no money and he offered none. His entire book consists of other people's
material. He now accuses me of stealing "his" information. Bill Hamilton
32 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
turned out to be just another UFO flake. I have since learned that I am not
the only person of whom he has taken advantage.
The most damaging scam was perpetrated by two old, has-been actors
turned con men, named Michael Callan and Douglas Deane. I doubt
seriously that you will remember either one, Callan was a regular in the
cheapy teen beach-blanket movies and Deane never got beyond bit parts
and chorus lines. I got involved with them when another actor named
Bruce Reed called and asked if I would consent to meet with him and a
friend who preferred to remain anonymous. I agreed that they could come
to the house where we could talk on familiar turf. I was not eager to meet
with someone that I did not know, and especially with an anonymous
person away from familiar surroundings.
Reed and friend showed up at my home, and the friend turned out to
be Michael Callan. They told me that they had read my material and
wanted to help. What a joke that statement turned out to be! They told me
that they knew how to get me in front of millions of people where I could
deliver my message. Callan was slick; he told me he was only interested in
helping spread the information, but talked me into signing a five-year
management contract that gave him a full 20% of the gross of all of my
earnings no matter what the source. He swore that if he didn't show
results within six months he would tear up the contract.
The first thing that Callan did was shaft his partner, Bruce Reed. He
cut Reed out of the action. To prevent me from finding out that he had
done it only to get Reed's half of the 20%, Callan told me that Bruce was a
drug dealer. Callan said that the public would find out eventually, and
Reed's drug involvement would damage me. Everything Callan told me
about Reed turned out to be a lie.
Stan Barrington called me next, wanting to know why I was trying to
dump him. I didn't know what he was talking about. It turned out that
Callan was trying to force Stan into giving up his 24% so that Callan could
form a 50-50 partnership with me. I told Stan that I had no intention of
dumping him. I told him that his 24% was his, that he could keep it, sell it,
or give it away and that he did not need my permission. Stan felt much
better after that conversation and told Callan to go fly a kite. At that point
Callan began working on me to get rid of Stan. I refused. I also told him
that he had nothing invested and therefore did not warrant anything. His
job was to manage according to our contract.
Douglas Deane entered the picture at the January 7,1989, lecture that
I gave at the Showboat Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Callan brought him
to videotape the lecture so that we would have a tape to sell for those
thousands of people who pleaded with us to produce a tape. The agree
William Cooper 33
ment was that he would tape the event and the tapes would belong exclusively
to me. In return, if the tapes turned out good, Deane would get a
contract to produce future tapes. The tapes were terrible and I told both
Deane and Callan that I did not want tapes of that poor quality being sold
to anyone. They did it anyway behind my back and began the process of
stealing my master tapes from all of my other lectures. At the same time
Callan drained all the business accounts. He borrowed $1400 from Stan to
produce tapes and then kept the money and the tapes.
A producer in Germany booked me to do a lecture in that country. To
secure the agreement he sent $3,000 to be used for two first-class tickets and
as a guarantee that when I got there I would not be cancelled. The pro-
ducer cancelled when a German postal strike prevented him from advertis-
ing the event. Callan kept the man's $3,000. I did not find out about that
until after I fired Callan.
At my lecture in San Diego at the Whole Life Expo I found out that
Deane was selling tapes and asking people to make checks out to "Need to
Know Productions," a phony company. I immediately fired Deane. I
informed Callan that we were to do no more business with him whatsoever.
I discovered that Callan was telling me that we were having tapes
duplicated in Hollywood for $15 per tape, but in reality Deane was doing
it on VCRs at his home in Arizona. I asked Callan to return all of my master
tapes for all my lectures. He refused and I fired him.
When I got rid of Callan, he had stolen everything that we had. We
were literally left penniless. He was in possession of all of our master tapes
from all of my lectures. We were broke and homeless at that point. If it had
not been for a few good friends in Minnesota, we would not have survived.
We would be in the streets today. Callan and Deane continue to injure us
by selling tapes from my lectures. We get nothing from those sales. They
are the most despicable con men and thieves that you can imagine.
I paid a visit to Deane's home one Saturday morning to ask him for my
master tapes. He was not home, and after a polite conversation with his
handyman, I returned to my home. A few days later the sheriff's department
called and asked me if I had been to Deane's home that same Saturday.
I told him that I had. He asked me if I had tried to break in Deane's
home and I told him that I had not. He thanked me and that was the end
of it. I had no idea what it was all about until I was served with a
retraining order. It seems that Deane's guilty conscience had made him
afraid that I would return. He slit his own tires, made a report to the sheriff
that I had done it, and then procured a restraining order from the local
court. I have never been questioned or accused by the police or sheriff
other than what I have already disclosed. I believe that their goal from the
34 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE
very beginning was to try and destroy my efforts at educating the American
people. They damn near succeeded.

HUMAN LIFE, i.e., SLAVERY and GENOCIDE.
This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION
Silent weapon technology has evolved from Operations Research
(O.R.), a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the MILITARY
MANAGEMENT [Eisenhower] in England during World War II.
The original purpose of Operations Research was to study the strategic and
tactical problems of air and land defense with the objective of effective use
of limited military resources against foreign enemies (i.e., logistics).
It was soon recognized by those in positions of power [THE COUN-
CIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS] that the same methods might be useful
for totally controlling a society. But better tools were necessary.
Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires
the correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic informa
38 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
tion (data), so a high-speed computerized data-processing system was
necessary which could race ahead of the society and predict when society
would arrive for capitulation.
Relay computers were too slow, but the electronic computer, invented
in 1946 by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, filled the bill.
The next breakthrough was the development of the simplex method of
linear programing in 1947 by the mathematician George B. Dantzig.
Then in 1948, the transistor, invented by J. Bardeen, W. H. Brattain, and
W. Shockley, promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing
space and power requirements.
With these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of
power strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole
world with the push of a button.
Immediately, the ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION got in on the
ground floor by making a four-year grant to HARVARD COLLEGE, funding
the HARVARD ECONOMIC RESEARCH PROJECT for the study of the
structure of the American economy. One year later, in 1949, THE UNITED
STATES AIR FORCE joined in.
In 1952 the original grant period terminated, and a high-level meeting
of the ELITE [Illuminati] was held to determine the next phase of social
operations research. The Harvard project had been very fruitful, as is
borne out by the publication of some of its results in 1953 suggesting the
feasibility of economic (social) engineering. (Studies in the Structure of the
American Economy copyright 1953 by Wassily Leontief, International Sci-
ences Press Inc., White Plains, New York.)
Engineered in the last half of the decade of the 1940s, the new Quiet
War machine stood, so to speak, in sparkling gold-plated hardware on the
showroom floor by 1954.
With the creation of the maser in 1954, the promise of unlocking UN
LIMITED SOURCES OF FUSION ATOMIC ENERGY FROM THE HEAVY
HYDROGEN IN SEA WATER and the consequent availability of unlimited
social power was a possibility only decades away.
The combination was irresistible.
The QUIET WAR was quietly DECLARED by the INTERNATIONAL
ELITE [THE BILDERBERG GROUP] at a meeting held in 1954.
Although the silent weapons system was nearly exposed 13 years
later, the evolution of the new weapon-system has never suffered any
major setbacks.
This volume marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Quiet
War. Already this domestic war has had many victories on many fronts
throughout the world.

POLITICAL INTRODUCTION
In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it
was only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public
would be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements
of the new silent-weapon technology were as accessible for a public Utopia
as they were for providing a private Utopia.
The ISSUE of PRIMARY CONCERN, that of DOMINANCE, revolved
a round the subject of the energy sciences.
ENERGY
Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural
science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social
science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources
and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics.
Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the book-
keeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of
the bookkeeping.
All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The
end is control. [THE END ALWAYS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.] Beyond
this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?
In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-
called "moral issues" were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it
was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence
are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such
people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.
CONSEQUENTLY, in the interest of future world order, peace, and
tranquility, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American
public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural
and social energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many
into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few.
In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure,
and apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so
subtle and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance
as to earn for themselves the name "silent weapons."
In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the
magnates capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods)
and vices, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predict-
able and manipulative.
In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements
of the society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be
40 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
housebroken, trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties
from a very early age, before they have an opportunity to question the
propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower-
class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation
of the parents and the establishment of government-operated
day-care centers for the occupationally orphaned children.
The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the
poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from
the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class.
With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have
little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life.
This form of slavery is essential to maintaining some measure of social
order, peace, and tranquility for the ruling upper class.
DESCRIPTIVE INTRODUCTION OF THE SILENT
WEAPON
Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from
a silent weapon by its creators, but only in its own manner of junctioning.
It shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing,
instead of a chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data,
instead of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated
by a computer programmer, instead of a marksman; under the orders
of a banking magnate, instead of a military general.
It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or
mental injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone's daily social
life.
Yet it makes an unmistakable "noise," causes unmistakable physical
and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with daily social life, i.e.,
unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for.
The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot
believe that they are being attacked and subdued by a weapon.
The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong [ISN'T
THAT THE TRUTH?], but because of the technical nature of the silent
weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational way, or handle the
problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for
help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves
against it.
When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts
to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until
the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 41
crack up.
Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological warfare. It attacks
the vitality, options, and mobility of the individuals of a society by know-
ing, understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural
and social energy, and their physical, mental, and emotional strengths and
weaknesses.
THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION
Give me control over a nation's currency,
and I care not who makes its laws.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild
(1743 - 1812)
Today's silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea
discovered, succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted Mr.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild discovered the missing passive
component of economic theory known as economic inductance. He, of
course, did not think of his discovery in these 20th-century terms, and, to
be sure, mathematical analysis had to wait for the Second Industrial Rev-
olution, the rise of the theory of mechanics and electronics, and finally, the
invention of the electronic computer before it could be effectively applied
in the control of the world economy.
GENERAL ENERGY CONCEPTS
In the study of energy systems, there always appear three elementary
concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipa-
tion. And corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially
pure physical counterparts called passive components.
(1) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of poten-
tial energy is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiff-
ness, and can be represented by a stretched spring.
In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of
a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or stiff -
ness.
(2) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of kinetic
energy is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and
can be represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion.
In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a
magnetic field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance in-
stead of inertia.
(3) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy
42 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
dissipation is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance,
and can be represented by a dashpot or other device which convertssystem energy into heat.
In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element
called either a resistor or a conductor, the term "resistor" being the onegenerally used to express the concept of friction, and the term "conductor"
being generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed
to convey electronic energy efficiently from one location to another. The
property of a resistance or conductor is measured as either resistance orconductance reciprocals.
In economics these three energy concepts are associated with:
(1) Economic Capacitance Capital (money, stock/inventory, invest-
ments in buildings and durables, etc.)
(2) Economic Conductance Goods (production flow coefficients)
(3) Economic Inductance Services (the influence of the population
of industry on output)
All of the mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy
system (e.g., mechanics, electronics, etc.) can be immediately applied in thestudy of any other energy system (e.g., economics).
MR. ROTHSCHILD'S ENERGY DISCOVERY
What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power,
influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle
is "when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you."
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts
had the required appearance of power that could be used to INDUCE
PEOPLE [WC emphasis] (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic
field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of
greater wealth (instead of real compensation). They would put up real
collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found
that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had
someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show to his customers.
Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to
governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make
money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral
through the obligation of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These
pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability
of currency to determine who would win the war. That government
which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support.
Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of
the debtor. The profit derived from this economic methodology made Mr.
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 43
Rothschild all the more able to extend his wealth. He found that the public
greed would allow currency to be printed by government order BEYOND
THE LIMITS [WC emphasis] (inflation) of backing in precious metal or the
production of goods and services (gross national product, GNP).
APPARENT CAPITAL AS "PAPER" INDUCTOR
In this structure, credit, presented as a pure element called "currency,"
has the appearance of capital, but is, in fact, negative capital. Hence, it has
the appearance of service, but is, in fact, indebtedness or debt. It is there-
fore an economic inductance instead of an economic capacitance, and if
balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population
(war, genocide). The total goods and services represent real capital called
the gross national product, and currency may be printed up to this level
and still represent economic capacitance; but currency printed beyond this
level is subtractive, represents the introduction of economic inductance,
and constitutes notes of indebtedness.
War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true
creditors (the public which we have taught to exchange true value for
inflated currency) and falling back on whatever is left of the resources of
nature and regeneration of those resources.
Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to
rearrange the economic structure to his own advantage, to shift economic
inductance to those economic positions which would encourage the great-
est economic instability and oscillation.
The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient
data and high-speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the
economic oscillations created by price shocking and excess paper energy
credits paper inductance/inflation.
BREAKTHROUGH
The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering
by way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this
process, a projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the
impulse of the recoil is monitored by vibration transducers connected to
the airframe and wired to chart recorders.
By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the
airframe, it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the
airframe which either vibrations of the engine or aeolian vibrations of the
wings, or a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a resonant
self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the standpoint
44 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
of engineering, this means that the strengths and weaknesses of the structure
of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and
manipulated.
APPLICATION IN ECONOMICS
To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering,
the prices of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction ismonitored. The resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted
theoretically by computers and the psycho-economic structure of the economy
is thus discovered. It is by this process that partial differential and
difference matrices are discovered that define the family household and
make possible its evaluation as an economic industry (dissipative consumer
structure).
Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted
and manipulated, and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its
reins under the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energybookkeeping system.
Eventually every individual element of the structure comes undercomputer control through a knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed by computer association of consumer preferences (universal
product code UPC zebra-stripe pricing codes on packages)
with identified consumers (identified via association with the use of acredit card and LATER A PERMANENT "TATTOOED" BODY NUMBER

THE ECONOMIC MODEL
...The Harvard Economic Research Project (1948-) was an extension of
World War II Operations Research. Its purpose was to discover the science
of controlling an economy: at first the American economy, and then the
world economy. It was felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation
and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and control the trend of an
economy as to predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Such has
proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been transformed into a
guided missile on target.
The immediate aim of the Harvard project was to discover the economic
structure, what forces change that structure, how the behavior of the
structure can be predicted, and how it can be manipulated. What was
needed was a well-organized knowledge of the mathematical structures
and interrelationships of investment, production, distribution, and consumption.
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 45
To make a short story of it all, it was discovered that an economyobeyed the same laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory
and practical and computer know-how developed for the electronic field
could be directly applied in the study of economics. This discovery was
not openly declared, and its more subtle implications were and are kept aclosely guarded secret, for example that in an economic model, human life
in measured in dollars, and that the electric spark generated when openinga switch connected to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the
initiation of a war.
The greatest hurdle which theoretical economists faced was the ac-
curate description of the household as an industry. This is a challenge
because consumer purchases are a matter of choice which in turn is in-
fluenced by income, price, and other economic factors.
This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and statistically approximateway by an application of shock testing to determine the current charac-
teristics, called current technical coefficients, of a household industry.
Finally, because problems in theoretical economics can be translated
very easily into problems in theoretical electronics, and the solution translated
back again, it follows that only a book of language translation and
concept definition needed to be written for economics. The remaindercould be gotten from standard works on mathematics and electronics. This
makes the publication of books on advanced economics unnecessary, and
greatly simplifies project security.
INDUSTRIAL DIAGRAMS
An ideal industry is defined as a device which receives value from
other industries in several forms and converts [it] into one specific product
for sales and distribution to other industries. It has several inputs and one
output. What the public normally thinks of as one industry is really an
industrial complex where several industries under one roof produce one or
more products....
THREE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES
Industries fall into three categories or classes by type of output:
Class #1 Capital (resources)
Class #2 Goods (commodities or use dissipative)
Class #3 Services (action of population)
Class #1 industries exist at three levels:
(1) Nature - sources of energy and raw materials.
(2) Government - printing of currency equal to gross national product
46 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
(GNP), and extension (inflation) of currency in excess of GNP.
(3) Banking - loaning of money for interest, and extension (inflation/
counterfeiting) of economic value through deposit loan accounts.
Class #2 industries exist as producers of tangible or consumer (dissipated)
products. This sort of activity is usually recognized and labeled by
the public as an "industry."
Class #3 industries are those which have service rather than a tangible
product as their output. These industries are called (1) households, and (2)
governments. Their output is human activity of a mechanical sort, and
their basis is population.
AGGREGATION
The whole economic system can be represented by a three-industry
model if one allows the names of the outputs to be (1) capital, (2) goods,
and (3) services. The problem with this representation is that it would not
show the influence of, say, the textile industry on the ferrous metal industry.
This is because both the textile industry and the ferrous metal
industry would be contained within a single classification called the
"goods industry" and by this process of combining or aggregating these
two industries under one system block they would lose their economic
individuality.
THE E-MODEL
A national economy consists of simultaneous flows of production,
distribution, consumption, and investment. If all of these elements including
labor and human functions are assigned a numerical value in like units
of measure, say, 1939 dollars, then this flow can be further represented by a
current flow in an electronic circuit, and its behavior can be predicted and
manipulated with useful precision.
The three ideal passive energy components of electronics, the capacitor, the
resistor, and the inductor correspond to the three ideal passive energy components
of economics called the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, respectively.
Economic capacitance represents the storage of capital in one form or
another.
Economic conductance represents the level of conductance of mater-
ials for the production of goods.
Economic inductance represents the inertia of economic value in mo-
tion. This is a population phenomenon known as services.
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 47
ECONOMIC INDUCTANCE
An electrical inductor (e.g., a coil of wire) has an electric current as its
primary phenomenon and a magnetic field as its secondary phenomenon
(inertia). Corresponding to this, an economic inductor has a flow of econo-
mic value as its primary phenomenon and a population field as its secondary
phenomenon of inertia. When the flow of economic value (e.g.,
money) diminishes, the human population field collapses in order to keep
the economic value (money) flowing (extreme case war).
This public inertia is a result of consumer buying habits, expected
standard of living, etc., and is generally a phenomenon of self-preservation.
INDUCTIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER
(1) Population
(2) Magnitude of the economic activities of the government
(3) The method of financing these government activities
(See Peter-Paul Principle inflation of the currency.)
TRANSLATION
(A few examples will be given.)
Charge coulombs dollars (1939).
Flow/Current amperes (coulombs per second) dollars of flow
per year.
Motivating Force volts dollars (output) demand.
Conductance amperes per volt dollars of flow per year per dol-
lar demand.
Capacitance coulombs per volt dollars of production inventory/
stock per dollar demand.
TIME FLOW RELATIONSHIPS AND
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE OSCILLATIONS
An ideal industry may be symbolized electronically in various ways.
The simplest way is to represent a demand by a voltage and a supply by acurrent. When this is done, the relationship between the two becomesWhat is called an admittance, which can result from three economic factors:
(1) hindsight flow, (2) present flow, and (3) foresight flow.
Foresight flow is the result of that property of living entities to cause
energy (food) to be stored for a period of low energy (e.g., a winter season).
It consists of demands made upon an economic system for that period of
low energy (winter season).
48 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
In a production industry it takes several forms, one of which is known
as production stock or inventory. In electronic symbology this specific
industry demand (a pure capital industry) is represented by capacitance
and the stock or resource is represented by a stored charge. Satisfaction of
an industry demand suffers a lag because of the loading effect of inventory
priorities.
Present flow ideally involves no delays. It is, so to speak, input today
for output today, a "hand to mouth" flow. In electronic symbology, this
specific industry demand (a pure use industry) is represented by a conductance
which is then a simple economic valve (a dissipative element).
Hindsight flow is known as habit or inertia. In electronics this phen-
omenon is the characteristic of an inductor (economic analog = a pure
service industry) in which a current flow (economic analog = flow of
money) creates a magnetic field (economic analog = active human popula-
tion) which, if the current (money flow) begins to diminish, collapse (war)
to maintain the current (flow of money energy).
Other large alternatives to war as economic inductors or economic
flywheels are an open-ended social welfare program, or an ENORMOUS
(but fruitful) OPEN-ENDED SPACE PROGRAM [WC emphases].
The problem with stabilizing the economic system is that there is too
much demand on account of (1) too much greed and (2) too much population.
This creates excessive economic inductance which can only be bal-
anced with economic capacitance (true resources or value e.g., in goods
or services).
The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit
balance system which creates a false capital industry to give nonproductive
people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be
useful, however, because the recipients become state property in return for
the "gift," a standing army for the elite. For he who pays the piper picks
the tune.
Those who get hooked on the economic drug, must go to the elite for
a fix. In this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing
capacitance is by borrowing on the future "credit" of the world. This is a
fourth law of motion onset, and consists of performing an action and
leaving the system before the reflected reaction returns to the point of
action a delayed reaction.
The means of surviving the reaction is by changing the system before
the reaction can return. By this means, politicians become popular in their
own time and the public pays for it later. In fact, the measure of such a
politician is the delay time.
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 49
The same thing is achieved by a government by printing money
beyond the limit of the gross national product, an economic process called
inflation. [Note: REMEMBER THAT INFLATION IS ONLY THE ACT OF
PRINTING MONEY IN EXCESS OF GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT.
THEY COULD BLAME IT ON THE PRICE OF WIDGETS OR OIL ONLY
BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNEW THE REAL CAUSE. THE REAL CAUSE
AND THE ONLY CAUSE OF INFLATION IS THE PRINTING OF MORE
MONEY BEYOND THE GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT.] This puts a
large quantity of money into the hands of the public and maintains a
balance against their greed, creates a false self-confidence in them and, for
awhile, stays the wolf from the door.
They must eventually resort to war to balance the account, because
war ultimately is merely the act of destroying the creditor, and the politicians
are the publicly hired hit men that justify the act to keep the respon-
sibility and blood off the public conscience. (See section on consent factors
and social-economic structuring.)
If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control
their appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to
operate on a credit or welfare social system which steals from the worker to
satisfy the bum.
Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are
only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.
(1) Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will
only result in a total destruction of the living earth.
(2) Take control of the world by the use of economic "silent weapons"
in a form of "quiet warfare" and reduce the economic inductance of the
world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.
The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this
point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the
silent weapons is necessary. The general public refuses to improve its own
mentality and its faith in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferat-
ing barbarians, and, so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth.
They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they
have not been able to avoid war despite religious morality, and their
religious or self-gratifying refusal to deal with earthly problems renders
the solution of the earthly problem unreachable by them.
It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the
fittest to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really
care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only
hope of preserving the seed of future true humanity....
50 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
THE HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY
The industries of finance (banking), manufacturing, and government,
real counterparts of the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, areeasily defined because they are generally logically structured. Because of
this their processes can be described mathematically and their technicalcoefficients can be easily deduced. This, however, is not the case with the
service industry known as the household industry.
HOUSEHOLD MODELS
...The problem which a theoretical economist faces is that the consumer
preferences of any household is not easily predictable and the technical
coefficients of any one household tend to be a nonlinear, very
complex, and variable function of income, prices, etc.
Computer information derived from the use of the universal product
code in conjunction with credit-card purchase as an individual household
identifier could change this state of affairs, but the U.P.C. method is not yet
available on a national or even a significant regional scale. To compensate
for this data deficiency, an alternate indirect approach of analysis has been
adopted known as economic shock testing. This method, widely used in
the aircraft manufacturing industry, develops an aggregate statistical sort
of data.
Applied to economics, this means that all of the households in one
region or in the whole nation are studied as a group or class rather than
individually, and the mass behavior rather than individual behavior is
used to discover useful estimates of the technical coefficients governing the
economic structure of the hypothetical single-household industry....
One method of evaluating the technical coefficients of the household
industry depends upon shocking the prices of a commodity and noting the
changes in the sales of all of the commodities.
ECONOMIC SHOCK TESTING
In recent times, the application of Operations Research to the study of
the public economy has been obvious for anyone who understands the
principles of shock testing.
In the shock testing of an aircraft airframe, the recoil impulse of firing
a gun mounted on that airframe causes shock waves in that structure
which tell aviation engineers the conditions under which parts of the
airplane or the whole airplane or its wings will start to vibrate or flutter like
a guitar string, a flute reed, or a tuning fork, and disintegrate or fall apart
in flight.
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 51
Economic engineers achieve the same result in studying the behavior
of the economy and the consumer public by carefully selecting a staple
commodity such as beef, coffee, gasoline, or sugar, and then causing a
sudden change or shock in its price or availability, thus kicking everybody's
budget and buying habits out of shape.
They then observe the shock waves which result by monitoring the
changes in advertising, prices, and sales of that and other commodities.
The objective of such studies is to acquire the know-how to set the
public economy into a predictable state of motion or change, even a con-
trolled self-destructive state of motion which will convince the public that
certain "expert" people should take control of the money system and
reestablish security (rather than liberty and justice) for all. When the
subject citizens are rendered unable to control their financial affairs, they, of
course, become totally enslaved, a source of cheap labor.
Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor
can be used as the means of shock testing. Labor strikes deliver excellent
tails shocks to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking
(transportation), communication, public utilities (energy, water, garbage
collection), etc.
By shock testing, it is found that there is a direct relationship between
the availability of money flowing in an economy and the psychological
outlook and response of masses of people dependent upon that availability.
For example, there is a measurable quantitative relationship between
the price of gasoline and the probability that a person would experience a
headache, feel a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to
a tavern for a mug of beer.
It is most interesting that, by observing and measuring the economic
modes by which the public tries to run from their problems and escape
from reality, and by applying the mathematical theory of Operations Re-
search, it is possible to program computers to predict the most probable
combination of created events (shocks) which will bring about a complete
control and subjugation of the public through a subversion of the public
economy (by shaking the plum tree)....
INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC AMPLIFIERS
Economic amplifiers are the active components of economic engineering.
The basic characteristic of any amplifier (mechanical, electrical, or
economic) is that it receives an input control signal and delivers energy
from an independent energy source to a specified output terminal in a
predictable relationship to that input control signal.
The simplest form of economic amplifier is a device called advertising.
52 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
If a person is spoken to by a T.V. advertiser as if he were a twelve-year-
old, then, due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain probability, respond
or react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of a twelve-year-old
and will reach into his economic reservoir and deliver its energy to buy that
product on impulse when he passes it in the store.
An economic amplifier may have several inputs and outputs. Its
response might be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol might be a
rotary switch if its options are exclusive, qualitative, "go" or "no go," or it
might have its parametric input/output relationships specified by a matrix
with internal energy sources represented.
Whatever its form might be, its purpose is to govern the flow of energy
from a source to an output sink in direct relationship to an input control
signal. For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component.
Economic Amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and, in comparison
with electronic amplifiers, the specific internal functions of an
economic amplifier are called logistical instead of electrical.
Therefore, economic amplifiers not only deliver power gain but also,
in effect, are used to cause changes in the economic circuitry.
In the design of an economic amplifier we must have some idea of at
least five functions, which are
(1) the available input signals,
(2) the desired output-control objectives,
(3) the strategic objective,
(4) the available economic power sources,
(5) the logistical options.
The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating
the economic amplifier into an economic system has been popularly
called GAME THEORY [WC emphasis].
The design of an economic amplifier begins with a specification of the
power level of the output, which can range from personal to national. The
second condition is accuracy of response, i.e., how accurately the output
action is a function of the input commands. High gain combined with
strong feedback helps to deliver the required precision.
Most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data
tends to be specific, while national input data tends to be statistical.

[WC: Ultimate objective New World Order]
DIVERSION, THE PRIMARY STRATEGY
Experience has proven that the SIMPLEST METHOD of securing a
silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to KEEP THE PUBLIC
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 57
UNDISCIPLINED AND IGNORANT of basic systems principles on the
one hand, WHILE KEEPING THEM CONFUSED, DISORGANIZED, AND
DISTRACTED with matters of no real importance on the other hand. [WC
all emphases.]
This is achieved by:
(1) disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing
a low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems
design and economics; and discouraging technical creativity.
(2) engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their in-
dulgence in emotional and physical activities, by:
(a) unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emo-
tional rape) by way of a constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the
media especially the T.V. and the newspapers.
(b) giving them what they desire in excess "junk food for
thought" and depriving them of what they really need.
(3) REWRITING HISTORY and LAW and SUBJECTING THE PUBLIC TO
THE DEVIANT CREATION, thus being able to SHIFT THEIR THINK-
ING from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities. [WC all
emphases.]
These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of
social automation technology.
The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion,
the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and
then offer the solutions.
DIVERSION SUMMARY
Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real
social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.
Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real
economics, real law, and REAL HISTORY [WC emphasis].
Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade
level.
Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on
the farm with the other animals.
CONSENT, THE PRIMARY VICTORY
A silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile
public by legal (but not always lawful) force. Much information is made
available to silent weapon systems programmers through the Internal
Revenue Service. (See Studies in the Structure of the American Economy for an
58 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
I.R.S. source list.)
This information consists of the enforced delivery of well-organizeddata contained in federal and state tax forms collected, assembled, and
submitted by slave labor provided by taxpayers and employers.
Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted to the I.R.S. is a
useful indicator of public consent, an important factor in strategic decisionmaking. Other data sources are given in the Short List of Inputs.
Consent Coefficients numerical feedback indicating victory status.
Psychological basis: When the government is able to collect tax and seize
private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the
public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal
encroachment. A good and easily quantified indicator of harvest time isthe number of public citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack
of reciprocal or honest service from the government.
AMPLIFICATION ENERGY SOURCES
The next step in the process of designing an economic amplifier is
discovering the energy sources. The energy sources which support any
primitive economic system are, of course, a supply of raw materials, and
the consent of the people to labor and consequently assume a certain rank,
position, level, or class in the social structure; i.e., to provide labor at
various levels in the pecking order.
Each class, in guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class
immediately below it, hence preserves the class structure. This provides
stability and security, but also government from the top.
As time goes on and communication and education improve, the
lower-class elements of the social labor structure become knowledgeable
and envious of the good things that the upper-class members have. They
also begin to attain a knowledge of energy systems and the ability to
enforce their rise through the class structure.
This threatens the sovereignty of the elite.
If this rise of the lower classes can be postponed long enough, the elite
can achieve energy dominance, and LABOR BY CONSENT NO LONGER
WILL HOLD A POSITION [WC emphasis] of an essential economic energy
source.
Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of
people to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into
consideration, since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in
the final transfer of energy sources to the control of the elite.
It is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an
essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplifica
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 59
tion.
Therefore, consent as an energy release mechanism will now be con-
sidered.
LOGISTICS
The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of
inputs, outputs, the strategy connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the
available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This study is called logistics.
A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then
levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary fac-
tors.
This means that a given system is analyzed, i.e., broken down into its
subsystems, and these in turn are analyzed, until, by this process, one
arrives at the logistical "atom," THE INDIVIDUAL [WC emphasis].
This is where the process of SYNTHESIS [WC emphasis] properly
begins, and at the time of the birth of the individual.
THE ARTIFICIAL WOMB
From the time a person leaves its mother's womb, its every effort is
directed toward building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial
wombs, various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells.
The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment
for both stable and unstable activity; to provide a shelter for the
evolutionary processes of growth and maturity i.e., survival; to
provide
security for freedom and to provide defensive protection for offensive
activity.
This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. However,
there is a definite difference in the way each of these classes go about the
solution of problems.
THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF A NATION
DEPENDENCY
The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a
political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own
dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human
god to eliminate all risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss their
bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them
into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be alright [sic] when
they wake up in the morning.
This public demand is incredible, so the human god, the politician,
60 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
meets incredibility with incredibility by promising the world and deliver-
ing nothing. So who is the bigger liar? the public? or the "godfather"?
This public behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness, and expedien-
cy. It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a
disgusting public.
ACTION/OFFENSE
Most people want to be able to subdue and/or kill other human
beings which disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope
with the moral and religious issues which such an overt act on their part
might raise. Therefore, they assign the dirty work to others (including
their own children) so as to keep the blood off their own hands. They rave
about the humane treatment of animals and then sit down to a delicious
hamburger from a whitewashed slaughterhouse down the street and out of
sight. But even more hypocritical, they pay taxes to finance a professional
association of hit men collectively called politicians, and then complain
about corruption in government.
RESPONSIBILITY
Again, most people want to be free to do things (to explore, etc.) butthey are afraid to fail.
The fear of failure is manifested in irresponsibility, and especially indelegating those personal responsibilities to others where success is uncer-
tain or carries possible or created liabilities (law) which the person is not
prepared to accept. They want authority (root word "author"), but they
will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face
reality for them.
SUMMARY
The people hire the politicians so that the people can:
(1) obtain security without managing it.
(2) obtain action without thinking about it.
(3) inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to con-
template either life or death.
(4) avoid responsibility for their own intentions.
(5) obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves
in the discipline of facing or learning either of these things.
They give the politicians the power to create and manage a war
machine to:
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 61
(1) provide for the survival of the NATION/WOMB.
(2) prevent encroachment of anything upon the NATION/WOMB.
(3) destroy the enemy who threatens the NATION /WOMB.
(4) destroy those citizens of their own country who do not conform for
the sake of stability of the NATION/WOMB.
Politicians hold many quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police
which are soldiers, the attorneys and the C.P.A.S next who are spies and
saboteurs (licensed), and the judges who shout the orders and run the
closed union military shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals
are industrialists. The "presidential" level of commander-in-chief is shared
by the international bankers. The people know that they have created this
farce and financed it with their own taxes (consent), but they would rather
knuckle under than be the hypocrite.
Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, a DOCILE
SUB-NATION [great silent majority] and a POLITICAL SUB-NATION.
The political sub-nation remains attached to the docile sub-nation, tolerates
it, and leaches its substance until it grows strong enough to detach itself
and then devour its parent.
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
In order to make meaningful computerized economic decisions about
war, the primary economic flywheel, it is necessary to assign concrete
logistical values to each element of the war structure personnel and
material alike.
This process begins with a clear and candid description of the subsysterms
of such a structure.
THE DRAFT
(As military service)
Few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or
more effective than that of the socio-military institution known as the draft.
A primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill, by
intimidation, in the young males of a society the uncritical conviction that
the government is omnipotent. [WC Note: The truth is just the opposite, as
government exists only with the consent of the people.] He is soon taught that a
prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man
trained in a religious environment for eighteen years of his life can, by this
instrument of the government, be broken down, be purged of his fantasies
and delusions in a matter of mere months. Once that conviction is instilled,
all else becomes easy to instill.
62 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH A
YOUNG MAN'S PARENTS, WHO PURPORTEDLY LOVE HIM, CAN BE
INDUCED TO SEND HIM OFF TO WAR TO HIS DEATH [WC emphasis].
Although the scope of this work will not allow this matter to be expanded
in full detail, nevertheless, a coarse overview will be possible and can serve
to reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in
a computer analysis of social and war systems.
We begin with a tentative definition of the draft. THE DRAFT (selec-
tive service, etc.) is an institution of COMPULSORY collective SACRIFICE
and SLAVERY, devised by the middle-aged and the elderly for the purpose
of pressing the young into doing the public dirty work. It further serves to
make the youth as guilty as the elders, thus making criticism of the elders
by the youth less likely (Generational Stabilizer). It is marketed and sold to
the public under the label of "patriotic = national" service.
Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition
is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a Human Value
System, which in turn is translated into the terms of game theory. The
value of such a slave laborer is given in a Table of Human Values, a table
broken down into categories by intellect, experience, post-service job
demand, etc.
Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated
in terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs
are harder to value because they are unique to the demands of social
subversion, for an extreme example: the value of a mother's instruction to
her daughter, causing that daughter to put certain behavioral demands
upon a future husband ten or fifteen years hence; thus, by suppressing his
resistance to a perversion of a government, making it easier for a banking
cartel to buy the State of New York in, say, twenty years.
Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of
wartime espionage and many types of psychological testing. But crude
mathematical models (algorithms, etc.) can be devised, if not to predict, at
least to predetermine these events with maximum certainty. What does
not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion.
Human beings are machines, levers which may be grasped and
turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society and
automating a shoe factory.
These derived values are variable. (It is necessary to use a current
Table of Human Values for computer analysis.) These values are given in
true measure rather than U.S. dollars, since the latter is unstable, being
presently inflated beyond the production of national goods and services so
as to give the economy a false kinetic energy ("paper" inductance).
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 63
The silver value is stable, it being possible to buy the same amount
with a gram of silver today as could be bought in 1920. Human value
measured in silver units changes slightly due to changes in production
technology.
ENFORCEMENT
FACTOR I
As in every social system approach, stability is achieved only by
understanding and accounting for human nature (action/reaction pat-
terns). A failure to do so can be, and usually is, disastrous.
As in other human social schemes, one form or another of intimidation
(or incentive) is essential to the success of the draft. Physical principles of
action and reaction must be applied to both internal and external subsys-
terms.
To secure the draft, individual brainwashing/programming and both
the family unit and the peer group must be engaged and brought under
control.
FACTOR II FATHER
The man of the household must be housebroken to ensure that junior
will grow up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising
media, etc., are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped
before or by the time he is married. He is taught that he either conforms to
the social notch cut out for him or his sex life will be hobbled and his tender
companionship will be zero. He is made to see that women demand
security more than logical, principled, or honorable behavior.
By the time his son must go to war, father (with jelly for a backbone)
will slam a gun into junior's hand before father will risk the censure of his
peers, or make a hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in
his own personal opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will
be embarrassed. So junior will go to war, the true purpose not withstand-
FACTOR III MOTHER
The female element of human society is ruled by emotion first and
logic second. In the battle between logic and imagination, imagination
always wins, fantasy prevails, maternal instinct dominates so that the child
comes first and the future comes second. A woman with a newborn baby
is too starry-eyed to see a wealthy man's cannon fodder or a cheap source
of slave labor. A woman must, however, be conditioned to accept the
transition to "reality" when it comes, or sooner.
64 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
As the transition becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit
must be carefully disintegrated, and state-controlled public education and
state-operated child-care centers must become more common and legally
enforced so as to begin the detachment of the child from the mother and
father at an earlier age. Inoculation of behavioral drugs [Ritalin] can speed
the transition for the child (mandatory). CAUTION: A woman's impul-
sive anger can override her fear. An irate woman's power must never be
underestimated, and her power over a pussy-whipped husband must like-
wise never be underestimated. It got women the vote in 1920.
FACTOR IV JUNIOR
The emotional pressure for self-preservation during time of war and
the self-serving attitude of the common herd that have an option to avoid
the battlefield if junior can be persuaded to go is all of the pressure
finally necessary to propel Johnny off to war. Their quiet blackmailings of
him are the threats: "No sacrifice, no friends; no glory, no girlfriends/'
FACTOR V SISTER
And what about junior's sister? She is given all the good things of life
by her father, and taught to expect the same from her future husband
regardless of the price.
FACTOR VI CATTLE
Those who will not use their brains are no better off than those who
have no brains, and so this mindless school of jelly-fish, father, mother, son,
and daughter, become useful beasts of burden or trainers of the same.

WC/Author's Note: So now you know. This chapter could only come in the
beginning. Your preconceived ideas had to be shattered in order for you to
understand the rest of this book. In this chapter you can see every step that the
elite have taken in their war to control this once great nation. You can see the
steps that will be taken in the future. You can no longer pretend innocence.
Your denial of the conspiracy will fall on deaf ears. This book is part of theeducation that will give Americans the weapons needed in the coming monthsand years of hardship as the New World Order struggles to be born.
Many will argue that "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" is only a bogusconglomeration of words for which the writer has never taken credit or responsibility.
Those who do so ignore the self-evident truths contained within
the document. They ignore these truths because they are an indictment of their
own ignorance, which they cannot face.
The document, first found in 1969, correctly outlines events which subse
Chapter One Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars 65
quently came to pass. It cannot be ignored or dismissed. The document isgenuine. Its truths cannot be negated or shrugged away. The message is this:
You must accept that you have been cattle and the ultimate consequence of
being cattle which is slavery or you must prepare to fight, and if necessary
die to preserve your God-given right to Freedom.
That last sentence is the real reason why people choose to ignore "Silent
Weapons for Quiet Wars." People are not ready to admit that they have been
cattle. They are not prepared to fight, and if necessary die, for Freedom. It isan indictment of the citizens of the United States of America. And that is the
total confirmation of the truth of the information contained in "Silent Wea-
pons for Quiet Wars."
CHAPTER 2
SECRET SOCIETIES
AND
THE NEW WORLD
ORDER
...there is a power so organized, so subtle, so complete,
so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their
breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
President Woodrow Wilson
68 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
History is replete with whispers of secret societies. Accounts of elders
or priests who guarded the forbidden knowledge of ancient peoples. Prom
inent men, meeting in secret, who directed the course of civilization are
recorded in the writings of all people.
The oldest is the Brotherhood of the Snake, also called the Brotherhood
of the Dragon, and it still exists under many different names. The Brotherhood
of the Snake is devoted to guarding the "secrets of the ages" and to
the recognition of Lucifer as the one and only true God. If you do not
believe in God, Lucifer, or Satan, you must understand that there are great
masses of people who do. I do not believe in racism but millions do and
their beliefs and actions based upon those beliefs will affect me. It is clear
that religion has always played a significant role in the course of these
organizations. Communication with a higher source, often divine, is a
familiar claim in all but a few.
The secrets of these groups are thought to be so profound that only a
chosen, well-educated few are able to understand and use them. These
men use their special knowledge for the benefit of all mankind. At least
that is what they claim. How are we to know, since their knowledge and
actions have been secret? Fortunately, some of it has become public know-
ledge.
I found it intriguing that in most, if not all, primitive tribal societies all
of the adults are members. They are usually separated into male and
female groups. The male usually dominates the culture. Surprisingly, this
exactly resembles many civilized secret societies. This can only mean that
the society is working not against established authority, but for it. In fact,
could be said to actually be the established authority. This would tend to
remove the validity of any argument that all secret associations are dedicated
to the "destruction of properly constituted authority." This can only
apply, of course, where the secret society makes up the majority or entirety
of any people which it affects. Only a very few fall into this category.
Secret societies in fact mirror many facets of ordinary life. There is
always an exclusivity of membership, with the resultant importance at-
tached to being or becoming a member. This is found in all human en-
deavors, even those which are not secret, such as football teams or country
clubs. This exclusivity of membership is actually one of the secret societies'
most powerful weapons. There is the use of signs, passwords and other
tools. These have always performed valuable functions in man's organiza-
tions everywhere. The stated reason, almost always different from the real
reason, for the societies' existence is important. It can be anything, but is
usually fraternal and is found in all pressure groups wherever people
congregate.
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 69
The comradeship is especially important. Sharing hardships or
secrets has always been a special thrill to man. No one who has ever
undergone the rigors of boot camp is ever likely to forget the special feeling
of belonging and comradeship that was shared between the victims of the
drill sergeant or company commander. It is an emotion born of initiation.
The most potent tool of any secret society is the ritual and myth surround-
ing initiation. These special binding ceremonies have very deep meaning
for the participants.
Initiation performs several functions which make up the heart and
soul of any true secret society. Like boot camp, the initiation into the armed
forces, important aspects of human thought that are universally compelling,
are merged to train and maintain the efforts of a group of people to
operate in a certain direction. Initiation bonds the members together in
mysticism
Neophytes gain knowledge of a secret, giving them special status.
The ancient meaning of neophyte is "planted anew or reborn." A higher
initiation is in reality a promotion inspiring loyalty and the desire to move
up to the next rung. The goals of the society are reinforced, causing the
initiated to act toward those goals in everyday life. That brings about a
change in the political and social action of the member. The change is
always in the best interest of the goals of the leaders of the secret society.
The leaders are called adepts. This can best be illustrated by the soldier
trained to follow orders without thinking. The result is often the wound-
ing or death of the soldier for the realization of the commander's goal,
which may or may not be good for the overall community.
Initiation is a means of rewarding ambitious men who can be trusted.
You will notice that the higher the degree of initiation the fewer the mem-
bers who possess the degree. This is not because the other members are not
ambitious but because a process of very careful selection is being conducted.
A point is reached where no effort is good enough without a pull
up by the higher members. Most members never proceed beyond this
point and never learn the real, secret purpose of the group. The frozen
member from that point on serves only as a part of the political power base,
as indeed he has always done. You may have guessed by now that initiation
is a way to determine who can and cannot be trusted.
A method of deciding exactly who is to become an adept may be
decided during initiation by asking the candidate to spit upon the Chris-
tian cross. If the candidate refuses, the members congratulate him and tell
him, "You have made the right choice, as a true adept would never do such
a terrible thing." The newly initiated might find it disconcerting, however,
that he/she never advances any higher. If instead, the candidate spits
70 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
upon the cross, he/she has demonstrated a knowledge of one of the mysteries
and soon will find him/herself a candidate for the next higher level.
The mystery is that religion is but a tool to control the masses. Knowledge
(or wisdom) is their only god, through which man himself will become
god. The snake and the dragon are both symbols of wisdom. Lucifer is the
personification of the symbol. It was Lucifer who tempted Eve to entice
Adam to eat of the tree of knowledge and thus free man from the bonds of
ignorance. The WORSHIP (a lot different from STUDY) of knowledge,
science, or technology is Satanism in its purest form, and its god is Lucifer.
Its secret symbol is the all-seeing eye in the pyramid.
Undesirable effects of secret societies and their aura of mystery has
sometimes given them the reputation for being abnormal associations or, at
the very least, strange groups of people. Whenever their beliefs are those
of the majority they are no longer considered antisocial. A good example is
the Christian church, which was at one time a secret society under the
Roman Empire. In fact, the "Open Friendly Secret Society" (the Vatican)
actually ruled most, if not all, of the known world at one time.
Most secret societies are generally considered to be antisocial; they are
believed to contain elements that are not liked or are outright harmful to
the community in general. This is exactly the case in some instances.
Communism and fascism are secret societies in many countries where they
are prohibited by law. In this country the Nazi party and the Ku Klux Klan
are secret societies due mostly to the fact that the general public is dis-
gusted by them. Their activities are sometimes illegal, thus the secrecy of
their membership. The early Christians were a secret society because
Roman authorities considered them from the start to be dangerous to
imperial rule. The same was true of the followers of Islam. At least some
of these true believers, working in secret, accomplished what would turn
out to be for the eventual good of society. The Druseed and Yezidis in Syria
and Iraq consider the Arabs a dangerous secret society dedicated to the
takeover of the world. The Arabs today think the same of the Jews. Cath-
olics and Freemasons used to have precisely the same ideas about each
other.
In many primitive or backward societies initiation into the highest
degrees of the group involved subjection to trials which not infrequently
resulted in death or insanity for the candidate. It can be seen that social
right and wrong is not the yardstick in estimating the value of a secret
society. In Borneo, initiates of hunting societies, consider it meritorious
and compulsory to hunt heads. In Polynesia, infanticide and debauch were
considered essential for initiation into their societies, where the tribal code
needed members who indulged in these things, as pillars of society.
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 71
Since the beginning of recorded history, governmental bodies of every
nation have been involved with maintaining the status quo to defend the
establishment against minority groups that sought to function as states
within states or to oust the constituted authority and take over in its place.
Many of these attempts have succeeded but have not always lasted.
Man's desire to be one of the elect is something that no power on earth has
been able to lessen, let alone destroy. It is one of the "secrets" of secret
societies. It is what gives them a political base and lots of clout. Members
often vote the same and give each other preference in daily business, legal,
and social activities. It is the deepest desire of many to be able to say, "I
belong to the elect."
Houses of worship and sacrifice existed in the ancient cities. They
were in fact temples built in honor of the many gods. These buildings
functioned often as meeting places for philosophers and mystics who were
believed to possess the secrets of nature. These men usually banded together
in seclusive philosophic and religious schools.
The most important of all of these ancient groups is the Brotherhood
of the Snake, or Dragon, and was simply known as the Mysteries. The
snake and dragon are symbols that represent wisdom. The father of wis-
dom is Lucifer, also called the Light Bearer. The focus of worship for the
Mysteries was Osiris, another name of Lucifer. Osiris was the name of a
bright star that the ancients believed had been cast down onto the earth.
The literal meaning of Lucifer is "bringer of light" or "the morning star."
After Osiris was gone from the sky, the ancients saw the Sun as the repre-
sentation of Osiris, or more correctly, Lucifer.
Osiris was represented by the sun.
Albert Pike
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer...
Isaiah 14:12.
...it is claimed that, after Lucifer fell from Heaven,
he brought with him the power of thinking as a gift for mankind.
Fred Gittings,
Symbolism in Occult Art
Most of the greatest minds that ever lived were initiated into the
society of Mysteries by secret and dangerous rites, some of which were
very cruel. Some of the most famous were known as Osiris, Isis, Sabazius,
Cybele, and Eleusis. Plato was one of these initiates and he describes some
72 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
of the mysteries in his writings.
Plato's initiation encompassed three days of entombment in the Great
Pyramid, during which time he died (symbolically), was reborn, and was
given secrets that he was to preserve. Plato's writings are full of informa-
tion on the Mysteries. Manly P. Hall stated in his book, The Secret Teachings
of All Ages that, "...the illumined of antiquity...entered its [pyramid of Giza]
portals as men; they came forth as gods." The ancient Egyptian word for
pyramid was khuti, which meant "glorious light." Mr. Hall says also, "The
pyramids, the great Egyptian temples of initiation..."
According to many, the great pyramids were built to commemorate
and observe a supernova explosion that occurred in the year 4000 B.C. Dr.
Anthony Hewish, 1974 Nobel Prize winner in physics, discovered a rhyth-
mic series of radio pulses which he proved were emissions from a star that
had exploded around 4000 B.C. The Freemasons begin their calendar from
A.L., "In the Year of Light," found by adding 4000 to the modern year.
Thus 1990 + 4000 = 5990 A.L. George Michanowsky wrote in The Once and
Future Star that "The ancient Sumerian cuneiform...described a giant star
exploding within a triangle formed by...Zeta Puppis, Gamma Velorum, and
Lambda Velorum...located in the southern sky....[An] accurate star
catalogue now stated that the blazing star that had exploded within the
triangle would again be seen by man in 6000 years." According to the
Freemason's calendar it will occur in the year 2000, and indeed it will.
The spacecraft called Galileo is on its way to Jupiter, a baby star with a
gaseous makeup exactly the same as our sun, with a load of 49.7 pounds of
plutonium, supposedly being used as batteries to power the craft. When
its final orbit decays in December 1999, Galileo will deliver its payload into
the center of Jupiter. The unbelievable pressure that will be encountered
will cause a reaction exactly as occurs when an atomic bomb is exploded by
an implosion detonator. The plutonium will explode in an atomic reaction,
lighting the hydrogen and helium atmosphere of Jupiter and resulting in
the birth of the star that has already been named LUCIFER. The world will
interpret it as a sign of tremendous religious significance. It will fulfill
prophecy. In reality it is only a demonstration of the insane application of
technology by the JASON Society which may or may not even work. They
have practiced overkill to ensure success, however, as the documents that I
read while in Naval Intelligence stated that Project GALILEO required only
five pounds of plutonium to ignite Jupiter and possibly stave off the
coming ice age. Global warming is a hoax. It is easier for the public to deal
with and will give the ruling elite more time before panic and anarchy
replace government. The reality is that overall global temperatures are
becoming lower. Storms are becoming more violent and less predictable.
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 73
The icecaps at the poles are growing larger. The temperate zones where
food can be grown are shrinking. Desertification is increasing in the trop-
ics. An ice age is on its way, and it will occur suddenly.
Simultaneously a vault containing the ancient records of the earth will
be opened in Egypt. The return of Lucifer and the opening of the vault will
usher in the millennium. A great celebration has already been planned by
the Millennium Society to take place at the pyramids in Egypt. According
to the January 3,1989, edition of the Arizona Daily Star, "President-elect
Bush is spending this New Year's holiday at Camp David, Maryland, but
In 10 years he may be in Egypt. Organizers of the Millennium Society say
he's already committed to ushering in the next century at the Great Pyramid
of Cheops in Giza."
The first secret that one must know to even begin to understand the
Mysteries is that their members believe that there are but few truly mature
minds in the world. They believe that those minds belong exclusively to
them. The philosophy that follows is the classic secret-society view of
humanity. "When a person of strong intellect is confronted with a problem
which calls for the use of reasoning faculties, they keep their poise and
attempt to reach a solution by garnering facts bearing upon the question.
On the other hand, those who are immature, when confronted by the same
problem, are overwhelmed. While the former may be said to be qualified
to solve the mystery of their own destiny, the latter must be led like a bunch
of animals and taught in the simplest language. Like sheep they are totally
dependent upon the shepherd. The able intellect is taught the Mysteries
and the esoteric spiritual truths. The masses are taught the literal, exoteric
interpretations. While the masses worship the five senses, the select few
observe, recognizing in the gulf between them the symbolic concretions of
great abstract truths.
"The initiated elect communicate directly to Gods [ALIENS?] who
communicate back to them. The masses sacrifice their lambs on an altar
facing, a stone idol that can neither hear or speak. The elect are given
knowledge of the Mysteries and are illumined and are thus known as The
Illuminati or the Illuminated Ones, the guardians of the 'Secrets of the
Ages.'"
Three early secret societies that can be directly connected to a modern
descendant are the cults of Roshaniya, Mithras and their counterpart, the
Builders. They have many things in common with the Freemasons of
today as well as with many other branches of the Illuminati. For instance,
common to the Brotherhood are the symbolic rebirth into a new life with-
out going through the portal of death during initiation; reference to the
"Lion" and "the Grip of the Lion's Paw" in the Master Mason's degree; the
74 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
three degrees, which is the same as the ancient Masonic rites before the
many other degrees were added; the ladder of seven rungs; men only; and
the "all-seeing eye."
Of special interest is the powerful society in Afghanistan in ancient
times called the Roshaniya illuminated ones. There are actually refer-
ences to this mystical cult going back through history to the House of
Wisdom at Cairo. The major tenets of this cult were: the abolition of
private property; the elimination of religion; the elimination of nation
states; the belief that illumination emanated from the Supreme Being who
desired a class of perfect men and women to carry out the organization and
direction of the world; belief in a plan to reshape the social system of the
world by first taking control of individual countries one by one, and the
belief that after reaching the fourth degree one could communicate directly
with the unknown supervisors who had imparted knowledge to initiates
throughout the ages. Wise men will again recognize the Brotherhood.
Can you hear the echo of the Nazi party, the Communist party, the
extreme right and the extreme left? The important fact to remember is that
the leaders of both the right and the left are a small, hard core of men who
have been and still are Illuminists or members of the Brotherhood. They
may have been or may be members of the Christian or Jewish religions, but
that is only to further their own ends. They are and always have been
Luciferian and internationalist. They give allegiance to no particular na-
tion, although they have used, on occasion, nationalism to further their
causes. Their only concern is to gain greater economic and political power.
The ultimate objective of the leaders of both groups is identical. They are
determined to win for themselves undisputed control of the wealth, nat-
ural resources, and manpower of the entire planet. They intend to turn the
world into their conception of a Luciferian totalitarian socialist state. In the
process they will eliminate all Christians, Jews, and atheists. You have just
learned one, but only one, of the great mysteries.
The Roshaniya also called themselves the Order. Initiates took an oath
that absolved them of all allegiance except to the Order and stated, "I bind
myself to perpetual silence and unshaken loyalty and submission to the
Order....All humanity which cannot identify itself by our secret sign is our
lawful prey." The oath remains essentially the same to this day. The secret
sign was to pass a hand over the forehead, palm inward; the countersign,
to hold the ear with the fingers and support the elbow in the cupped other
hand. Does that sound familiar? The Order is the Order of the Quest. The
cult preached that there was no heaven, no hell, only a spirit state completely
different from life as we know it. The spirit could continue to be
powerful on earth through a member of the Order, but only if the spirit had
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 75
been itself a member of the Order before its death. Thus members of the
Order gained power from the spirits of the dead members.
The Roshaniya took in travelers as initiates and then sent them on
their way to found new chapters of the Order. It is believed by some that
the Assassins were a branch of the Roshaniya. Branches of the Roshaniya
or "the illuminated ones" or the Illuminati existed and still exist every-
where. One of the rules was not to use the same name and never mention
"the Illuminati." That rule is still in effect today. I believe that it is the
breaking of this rule that resulted in Adam Weishaupt's downfall.
One of the greatest secrets of the ages is the true story of the Holy
Grail, the robe of Jesus, the remains of the Cross of Crucifixion, and whether
Jesus actually died or if he survived and produced a child. Many
myths surround the Knights Templar concerning these relics, and most
myths throughout history always have at least some basis in fact. If my
sources are correct, the Knights Templar survive today as a branch of the
Illuminati and guard the relics, which are hidden in a location known only
to them.
We know that the Templars are Illuminati because the Freemasons
absorbed and protected those that escaped persecution of the church and
France, just as the Freemasons would absorb and protect Weishaupfs
Illuminati centuries later. The Knights Templar exist today as a higher
degreve of Freemasonry within the Templar Order. In fact, the Knights
Templar is a branch of the Order of the Quest. The DeMolay Society is a
branch of the Freemasons that consecrates the memory of the persecution
of the Knights Templar and in particular, their leader Jacques deMolay. I
know, because I was a member of the DeMolay Society as a young adult. I
loved the mystery and ritual. I became separated from the Society when
my family moved to a location out of reach of any lodge. I believe to this
day that my association with the DeMolay Society may have been the
reason for my selection for Naval Security and Intelligence.
According to members of the intelligence community, when the New
World Order is solidified the relics will be taken out, will be united with the
Spear of Destiny, and will, according to legend, give the world's ruler
absolute power. This may confirm beliefs passed down through the ages
that describe the significance of these relics when united in the hands of
one man. It may also explain Hitler's desperate search for their hiding
place during World War II. Again I must remind you that it makes not one
iota of difference what you believe. If they believe, you will be affected.
The Knights Templar were founded sometime during the 11th century
in Jerusalem by the Prieure de Sion for the express purpose of guarding the
remaining relics of Jesus and to provide military protection for the religious
76 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
travelers during their pilgrimage to the Holy City.
The Prieure de Sion was a religious order founded upon Mount Sion
in Jerusalem. The Order set for itself the goal of preserving and recording
the bloodline of Jesus and the House of David. Through every means
available to them, the Prieure de Sion had found and retrieved the remain-
ing relics. These relics were entrusted to the Knights Templar for safekeeping.
I am amazed at the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the
information that they have unearthed. Most of all I am amazed at their
inability to put the puzzle together. The treasure hidden in France is not
the treasure of the Temple of Jerusalem. It is the Holy Grail itself, the robe
of Jesus, the last remaining pieces of the Cross of Crucifixion, and, accord-
ing to my sources, someone's bones. I can tell you that the reality of the
bones will shake the world to its very foundations if I have been told the
truth. The relics are hidden in France. I know the location and so do the
authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, but they do not know that they know
or do they?
Adam Weishaupt, a young professor of canon law at Ingolstadt Uni-
versity in Germany, was a Jesuit priest and an initiate of the Illuminati. The
branch of the Order he founded in Germany in 1776 was the same Illuminati
previously discussed. The Jesuit connection is important, as you
will see later in this chapter. Researchers agree that he was financed by the
House of Rothschild (the same Rothschild family mentioned in "Silent
Weapons for Quiet Wars"). Weishaupt advocated "abolition of all ordered
national governments, abolition of inheritance, abolition of private proper-
ty, abolition of patriotism, abolition of the individual home and family life
as the cell from which all civilizations have stemmed, and abolition of all
religions established and existing so that the Luciferian ideology of totali-
tarianism may be imposed on mankind."
In the same year that he founded the Illuminati he published Wealth of
Nations, the book that provided the ideological foundation for capitalism
and for the Industrial Revolution. It is no accident that the Declaration of
Independence was written in the same year. On the obverse of the Great
Seal of the United States the wise will recognize the all-seeing eye and other
signs of the Brotherhood of the Snake.
Every tenet was the same. Date and beliefs confirm that Weishaupt's
Illuminati is the same as the Afghan Illuminated Ones and the other cults
which called themselves "illuminated." The Alumbrados of Spain were
the same as were the "illuminated" Guerinets of France. In the United
States they were known as the Jacobin clubs. Secrets within secrets within
secrets but always at the heart is the Brotherhood.
I believe that Weishaupt was betrayed and set up for persecution
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 77
because he ignored the rule that the word "illuminati" or the existence of
the Brotherhood would never be exposed to public knowledge. His ex-
posure and outlawing accomplished several goals of the still-hidden and
still very powerful brotherhood. It allowed members to debunk claims of
its existence on the grounds that the Illuminati had been exposed and
outlawed and thus was no longer a reality. It allowed members to deny
allegations of conspiracy of any kind. The Brotherhood of the Snake is
adept at throwing out decoys to keep the dogs at bay. Weishaupt may have
been a fool or he may have been doing exactly what he was told.
Weishaupt said, "The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment;
let it never appear in its own name, but always covered by another
name, and another occupation."
Allegations that the Freemason organizations were infiltrated by the
Illuminati during Weishaupt's reign are hogwash. The Freemasons have
always contained the core of Illuminati within their ranks, and that is why
they so freely and so willingly took in and hid the members of Weishaupt's
group. You cannot really believe that the Freemasons, if they were only a
simple fraternal organization, would have risked everything, including
their very lives, by taking in and hiding outlaws who had been condemned
by the monarchies of Europe. It is mainly Freemason authors who have
perpetuated the myth that Adam Weishaupt was the founder of the Il-
luminati and that the Illuminati was destroyed, never to surface again.
In 1826 an American Freemason wrote a book revealing Masonic
secrets entitled Illustrations of Freemasonry. One of the secrets that he
revealed is that the last mystery at the top of the Masonic pyramid is the
worship of Lucifer. We have since learned the secret of the "story of the
murder of Hiram Abif." Hiram Abif represents intelligence, liberty and
truth, and was struck down by a blow to the neck with a rule, representing
the suppression of speech by the church; then he was struck in the heart
wih the square, representing the suppression of belief by the State; and
finally he was struck on the head by a maul, representing the suppression
of intellect by the masses. Freemasonry thus equates the Church, the State,
and masses with tyranny, intolerance, and ignorance. What Morgan
revealed was that the Freemasons were pledged to avenge Hiram Abif and
that their plan was to strike down the Church, the State, and the freedom of
the masses.
Morgan caused a small uproar against the Masons. The small uproar
turned into a full blown anti-Freemason movement when the author, William
Morgan, disappeared. Morgan had apparently been abducted and
drowned in Lake Ontario. It was alleged that fellow Masons had done it, a
claim that they deny to this day. Who else would have done it? I believe
78 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
they murdered him. The newspapers of the time state without reservation
that he was murdered by Masons. The oath of initiation into the Free-
masons states that if secrets are told, the initiate will be murdered. A
nationwide furor ensued that resulted in the creation of an anti-Masonic
political party in 1829 by Henry Dana Ward, Thurlow Weed, and William
H. Seward. Interest in several anti-Masonic books was revived during that
period, with the result that Freemasonry suffered a severe loss of membership.
It lasted only a few years and by 1840 the anti-Masonic party was
extinct. Time really does cure all ills.
We know that the British Freemasons are a totally self-serving group
that discriminates in favor of its own whenever jobs, promotions, contracts,
or careers are concerned. The English Freemason organization was used
by the KGB to infiltrate and take over British Intelligence. British Intelligence
is synonomous with Chatham House, more commonly known as
the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the parent organization of the
Council on Foreign Relations in the United States. The English state police,
Scotland Yard, ordered its personnel not to join the Masons for fear the
same would happen to them. Of course, you have been told all your life
that the Freemasons are only a benevolent fraternal organization bent only
on community service. Read on, O innocent one.
Probably the most notorious Freemason lodge is the P2 lodge in Italy.
This group has been implicated in everything from bribery to assassina-
tions. P2 is directly connected to the Vatican, the Knights of Malta, and to
the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. It is powerful and dangerous. The P2
lodge has succeeded in infiltrating the Vatican and has scored a coup of
tremendous significance: the Pope, John Paul II, has lifted the ban against
Freemasonry. Many high-level members of the Vatican are now Freemasons.
I tell you now that Freemasonry is one of the most wicked and terrible
organizations upon this earth. The Masons are major players in the struggle
for world domination. The 33rd Degree is split into two. One split
contains the core of the Luciferian Illuminati and the other contains those
who have no knowledge of it whatsoever.
ALL of the intelligence officers that I worked for while in Naval
Intelligence were Masons. As I stated before, I believe that my association
with the DeMolay Society as a young adult may have been the reason that
I was selected for Naval Security and Intelligence. However, that is only a
guess.
I had intended to go into great detail linking P2, the Prieure de Sion,
the Vatican, the CIA, organizations for a United Europe, and the Bilderberg
Group. Fortunately, Michael Baigent, Righard Leigh & Henry Lincoln beat
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 79
me to it. I say fortunately, because they confirm my previous allegation
that I published in my paper "The Secret Government" that the CIA had
plants, called moles, deep within the Vatican. I do not wish to be called a
plagiarist so you MUST READ Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Messianic
Legacy, both by Baigent, Leigh, & Lincoln. Any reputable bookstore should
carry them. Between pages 343 and 361 of The Messianic Legacy you can
read of the alliance of power that resulted in a secret world government.
Most members of the Freemasons are not aware that the Illuminati
practices what is known as "secrets within secrets," or organizations within
organizations. That is one purpose of initiation. I cannot excuse any of the
members, however, for anyone who joins a society without knowing
EVERYTHING about the organization is indeed a fool. Only those at the
top who have passed every test truly know what the Masons are hiding,
thus rendering it impossible for anyone outside to know much at all about
the group. What does that say about new members or those who are
already members but do not know the ultimate secrets? It tells me that
fools abound. Unlike authors who out of fear have acted as apologists for
the Freemasons, I decline to absolve them of responsibility and guilt. The
freemasons, like everyone else, are responsible for the cleanliness of their
home. The occupant of a secret house within a secret house within a secret
house cannot clean if he cannot see the number of rooms or what they
contain. Their house is a stinking cesspool. Look to the Masons for the
guilty party if anything happens to me. I believe that they have murdered
In the past and that they will murder in the future.
I firmly believe that all adult secret societies that practice degrees of
initiation and consider the members to be "illuminated" are branches of the
original ages-old Illuminati. Their goal is to rule the world. The doctrine
of this group is not democracy or communism, but is a form of fascism.
The doctrine is totalitarian socialism. You must begin to think correctly.
The Illuminati are not Communists, but some Communists are Illuminati.
(1) Monarchism (thesis) faced democracy (antithesis) in WWI, which resulted
in the formation of communism and the League of Nations (synthesis).
(2) Democracy and communism (thesis) faced fascism (antithesis) in WWII
and resulted in a more powerful United Nations (synthesis). (3) Capi-
talism (thesis) now faces communism (antithesis) and the result will be the
New World Order, totalitarian socialism (synthesis).
The 1953 report of the California Senate Investigating Committee on
Education stated: "So-called modern Communism is apparently the same
hypocritical world conspiracy to destroy civilization that was founded by
the Illuminati, and that raised its head in our colonies here at the critical
period before the adoption of our Constitution." The California Senate
80 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
understood that communism is the work of the Illuminati. They failed to
realize that the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission
are also the work of the Illuminati. You MUST begin to think correctly. The
enemy is not communism, it is Illuminism. The Communists are not going to
be much happier with the New World Order than we.
I hope to show that most modern secret societies and especially those
that practice degrees of initiation and that is the key are really one
society with one purpose. You may call them whatever you wish the
Order of the Quest, the JASON Society, the Roshaniya, the Qabbalah, the
Knights Templar, the Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, the
Jesuits, the Masons, the Ancient and Mystical Order of Rosae Crucis, the
Illuminati, the Nazi Party, the Communist Party, the Executive Members of
the Council on Foreign Relations, The Group, the Brotherhood of the
Dragon, the Rosicrucians, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the
Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the Open Friendly Secret
Society (the Vatican), the Russell Trust, the Skull & Bones, the Scroll & Key,
the Order they are all the same and all work toward the same ultimate
goal, a New World Order.
Many of them, however, disagree on exactly who will rule this New
World Order, and that is what causes them to sometimes pull in opposite
directions while nevertheless proceeding toward the same goal. The
Vatican, for instance, wants the Pope to head the world coalition. Some
want Lord Maitreya to head the New World Order. Lord Maitreya is the
front runner, I believe, since witnesses say he was present on the ship at
Malta with Bush, Gorbachev, and the ten regional heads of the New World
Order. ''Approximately 200 dignitaries from around the world attended a
major conference initiated by Maitreya in London on April 21 and 22, 1990.
Representatives of governments (including the USA), members of royal
families, religious leaders and journalists, all of whom had met with
Maitreya previously, attended the conference." Quote from "Prophecy
Watch" column of Whole Wheat No. 8, Minneapolis.
Someone has also spent an awful lot of money announcing his pres-
ence. The Pope will have to approve him if Maitreya is selected, however,
and that would fulfill the Bible prophecy in the Book of Revelation that
states that the first beast will be given his power by Rome. If you can
interpret Revelation as I can, then you know that the Pope will ultimately
win out and will reign as the second beast.
In 1952 an alliance was formed, bringing them all together for the first
time in history. The Black Families, the Illuminati (the Order), the Vatican,
and the Freemasons now work together to bring about the New World
Order. All will protest their innocence and will do everything within their
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 81
power to destroy anyone who suggests otherwise. I will undoubtedly
become a target when this book is published.
You may notice that some of those listed in the preceding paragraphs
do not, or so it appears, practice degrees of initiation. That is the public
view. Look at the Council on Foreign Relations. Many membersin fact,
the majority never serve on the executive committees. They never go
through any initiation of any kind. They are, in fact, the power base and
are used to gain a consensus of opinion. The majority are not really
members but are made to feel as if they are. In reality they are being used
and are unwilling or unable to understand. The Executive Committee is an
inner core of intimate associates, members of a secret society called the
Order of the Quest, also known as the JASON Society, devoted to a common
purpose. The members are an outer circle on whom the inner core
acts by personal persuasion, patronage and social pressure. That is how
they bought Henry Kissinger. Rockefeller gave Kissinger a grant of $50,000
in the early '50s, a fortune in those days, and made dear old Henry a
member of the CFR. Anyone in the outer circle who does not toe the mark
is summarily expelled and the lesson is not lost on those who remain. Do
you remember the human desire to be a member of the elect? That is the
principle at work.
The real power are men who are always recruited without exception
from the secret societies of Harvard and Yale known as the Skull & Bones
and the Scroll & Key. Both societies are secret branches (also called the
Brotherhood of Death) of what is otherwise historically known as the
Illuminati. They are connected to parent organizations in England (The
Group of Oxford University and especially All Souls College), and Germany
(the Thule Society, also called the Brotherhood of Death). I learned
this when I was with Naval Intelligence. I was not able to explain why
some members of the Executive Committee were not listed under the
"Addresses" of Chapter 322 of the Skull & Bones Society until I read The
Wise Men by Walter Isaacson & Evan Thomas, Simon and Schuster, New
York. Under illustration #9 in the center of the book you will find the
caption "Lovett with the Yale Unit, above far right, and on the beach: His
initiation into Skull and Bones came at an air base near Dunkirk." I have
found that members of these two societies were chosen on an ongoing basis
by invitation based upon merit post-college and were not confined to only
Harvard orY>ale attendees.
Only members of the Order are initiated into the Order of the Quest,
the JASON Society that makes up the executive members of the Council on
Foreign Relations and, in fact, the Trilateral Commission as well. The
executive members of the Council on Foreign Relations are the real elect in
82 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
this country. George Bush is a member of the Order. Surprised? You
shouldn't be. His father was also a member who helped finance Hitler.
It is important that you know that the members of the Order take an
oath that absolves them from any allegiance to any nation or king or
government or constitution, and that includes the negating of any sub-
sequent oath of allegiance which they may be required to take. They swear
allegiance only to the Order and its goal of a New World Order. George
Bush is not a loyal citizen of the United States but instead is loyal only to
the destruction of the United States and to the formation of the New World
Order. According to the oath Bush took when he was initiated into Skull &
Bones, his oath of office as President of the United States of America means
nothing.
The Trilateral Commission is an elite group of some 300 very promi-
nent business, political, and intellectual decision-makers of Western
Europe, North America, and Japan. This enterprise is a private agency that
works to build up political and economic cooperation among the three
regions. Its grand design, which it no longer hides, is a New World Order.
The Trilateral Commission was the idea of its founder, American
banking magnate David Rockefeller. The real reason for its formation was
the decline of the Council on Foreign Relation's power as a result of the
people's dissatisfaction with the Vietnam War. The reasoning behind the
move toward the Trilateral Commission was the same as entering two
horses in the same race. It doubles the chances of winning. The real power
has always remained solidly in the hands of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The Rockefeller family was, is and always will be the benefactor of
both organizations. Rockefeller, though powerful, is not in control in this
country or anywhere else. The key to the REAL power is the fact that
Rockefeller had to put out feelers at a Bilderberg Group meeting in 1972
about forming a private group of trilateral leaders. The Bilderberg Group
gave the nod and Rockefeller's man Zbigniew Brzezinski gathered up a
membership and organized the Trilateral Commission in 1972, not in 1973
as the Commission claims.
A key to the danger presented by the Trilateral Commission is its
"Seminal Peace," written for them by Harvard Professor Samuel P. Huntington
in the mid '70s. In the paper Professor Huntington recommended
that democracy and economic development be discarded as outdated
ideas. He wrote as co-author of the book Crises In Democracy, "We have
come to recognize that there are potential desirable limits to economic
growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension
of political democracy. A government which lacks authority will have
little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its people the sacrifices
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 83
which may be necessary." The crises and sacrifices he talks about will be
discussed in a later chapter.
Remember that George Bush was a member of the Trilateral Commission
and only resigned as an expediency to get elected. He believes whole-
heartedly in the Commission and its ideas and ideals. We have elected a
President who believes that democracy and economic development must
be discarded. I tell you now that he is working toward that end. Bush is
still a member of the Order and the CFR.
The JASON Society, or JASON Scholars, takes its name from the story
of Jason and the Golden Fleece, and it is a branch of the Order of the Quest,
One of the highest degrees in the Illuminati. The golden fleece takes on the
role of truth to JASON members. Jason represents the search for the truth.
Therefore the name JASON Society denotes a group of men who are
engaged in a search for the truth. The name Jason is spelled with capital
letters when used as the name of the JASON Society. Lower-case letters are
never used when referring to this secret group.
Author's note: The name may even have a deeper meaning, as the name"Jason" and the Golden Fleece appear throughout history in relation to vari-
ous other secret societies. In these instances the story represents man (Jason)
looking for himself (Golden Fleece).
Top Secret documents that I read while with Naval Intelligence stated
that President Eisenhower had commissioned the JASON Society to examine
all of the evidence, facts, lies, and deception and find the truth of the
alien question.
Founders of the JASON Group (not the same as the JASON Society)
include members of the famous Manhattan Project, which brought
together almost every leading physicist in the nation to build the atomic
bomb during World War II. The group is made up mostly of theoretical
physicists and is the most elite gathering of scientific minds in the United
States. As of 1987 the membership included four Nobel Prize winners.
Today JASON continues to offer scientific help the government cannot find
anywhere else. They are probably the only group of scientists in the United
States that know the true state of highest technology.
JASON is shrouded in what appears to be unnecessary secrecy. The
group refuses to release its membership list. None of the members list
JASON membership on their official resumes. Working completely behind
the scenes, JASON has guided the nation's most important security decisions.
These include, but are not limited to, Star Wars, submarine warfare,
and predictions about the greenhouse effect. The JASON members are
each paid a $500-per-day consultant's fee.
In the documents that I read while with Naval Intelligence the
84 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
JASONS predicted that the greenhouse effect would lead ultimately to an
ICE AGE.
According to the Pentagon, the JASONS hold the highest and most
restrictive security clearances in the nation. They are given the protocol
rank of rear admiral (two stars) when they visit or travel aboard ships or
visit military bases. The only other reference to the JASON group that I
have been able to find is in The Pentagon Papers. The papers stated that
JASON was responsible for designing the electronic barrier between North
and South Vietnam for the purpose of sealing off infiltration of the South by
North Vietnamese regulars during the Vietnam War. I was stationed on the
DMZ and I can tell you that it did not work.
The veil of secrecy drawn around the JASON Group has been so tight
and so leak-proof since its conception that those who think the government
cannot keep a secret need to reexamine that position. The government was
able to contain the JASON secret except for the one leak; but the JASON
Group itself, a civilian group, did even better. No leaks have ever occurred
from within JASON. JASON is administered by the Mitre Corporation.
Government contracts allotted to the Mitre Corporation are in reality al-
lotted to the JASON scientists. This is done so that the name JASON does
not ever appear in documents which may come under public scrutiny.
What is the difference between the JASON Scholars or JASON Society
and the JASON Group? The documents that I read referred to the JASON
Society in exactly those words. In public documents the only JASON
reference is to the JASON Group, administered by the Mitre Corporation. I
believe the JASON Society is one of the highest degrees above the Skull &
Bones and the Scroll & Key in the Illuminati. In other words, it is a higher
level of initiation. The JASON Group is a scientific organization formed
and hired by the JASON Society and the U.S. Government for obvious
reasons.
I know a lot more about the JASON Society and the JASON Group, but
I do not want to injure Mr. Grant Cameron, who has done extensive
research on these subjects. He will publish his research in the coming
months. I guarantee his findings will amaze you.
The Council on Foreign Relations has been the foremost flank of
America's foreign-policy establishment for more than half a century. The
Council on Foreign Relations is a private organization of business execu-
tives, scholars, and political leaders that studies global problems and plays
a key role in developing U.S. foreign policy. The CFR is one of the most
powerful semi-official groups concerned with America's role in interna-
tional affairs. It is controlled by an elect group of men recruited from the
Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key societies of Harvard and Yale, which are
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 85
both chapters of a secret branch of the Illuminati known as Chapter 322 of
the Order [see page 81]. The members of the Order make up the Executive
Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations after undergoing initiation
into the Order of the Quest, also known as the JASON Society.
The Council on Foreign Relations is an off-shoot sister organization to
the British Royal Institute of International Affairs. Their goal is a New
World Order. Although it existed as a dinner club in New York, it did not
take on its present power until 1921, when it merged with the Royal
Institute of International Affairs and received its financial base from J.R
Morgan, the Carnegie Endowment, the Rockefeller family, and other Wall
Street banking interests.
The Council on Foreign Relations controls our government. Through
the years its members have infiltrated the entire executive branch, State
Department, Justice Department, CIA, and the top ranks of the military.
EVERY DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY HAS
BEEN A MEMBER OF THE CFR. MOST PRESIDENTS SINCE ROOSEVELT
HAVE BEEN MEMBERS. The members of the CFR dominate owner-
ship of the press and most, if not all, of America's top journalists are
members. The CFR does not conform to government policy. The govern-
ment conforms to CFR policy. The appendix contains the most current list
of CFR members that I was able to locate.
I read Top Secret documents while with Naval Intelligence that stated
that President Eisenhower had appointed six of the Executive Committee
members of the CFR to sit on the panel called Majesty Twelve also known
as Majority Twelve for security reasons. Majesty Twelve is the secret group
that is supposed to control extraterrestrial information and projects. The
documents stated that Eisenhower had also appointed six members from
the Executive branch of government who were also members of the CFR.
The total membership of Majesty Twelve was nineteen, including Dr. Edward
Teller and the six members from the JASON scientific group. Again,
whether this is true or disinformation depends solely upon the existence of
aliens.
The CFR is a secret society in that it forbids the taking of notes or the
publishing of minutes of its meetings. Any member who divulges the
subject or any part of any conversation or talk that took place during a
meeting is terminated. The goal of the Council on Foreign Relations is a
New World Order. George Bush is a member of the CFR.
Knights of Malta play a powerful role in this scenario. In the
1930s General Smedley Butler was recruited to help take over the White
House. He was told that he was needed because of his general popularity
with the military. General Butler blew the whistle and named several
86 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
prominent Americans as part of the plot. At the top of the list was John J.
Raskob, who was a founding member of the U.S. branch of the Knights ofMalta. He was board chairman of General Motors. He was, at the time, the
U.S. Treasurer of the Knights of Malta. Congressional hearings were heldto investigate the plot, but none of those named, including Raskob, wasever called to testify and nothing ever came of the hearings. Although you
will find this in the Congressional records, you will NEVER find it in ANY
history book anywhere.
It is significant that the Iran-Contra episode has many similarities to
the 1930s plot. William Casey was a member of the Knights of Malta.
William Casey, with the help of Vice President Bush, Anne Armstrong and
Donald Regan, caused the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Boardto be emasculated so that Bush, Casey, North and others could carry out
their dirty deeds without oversight. They had also developed a plan to
suspend the Constitution of the United States and were preparing to imple-
ment the plan when they were caught. These facts emerged from the
hearings but were suppressed by the committee chairman, Senator Daniel
Inouye of Hawaii. You must understand that tremendous power wasinvolved in both attempts to overthrow the United States Government.
William Casey was the Director of the CIA. He was a member of the
CFR. Casey was a Knight of Malta. He was the head of Ronald Reagan'spolitical campaign. He was head of the Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion. During the Nixon administration he was head of the Export-ImportBank.
Casey arranged financing for the Kama River truck factory in theSoviet Union with 90% of the funds guaranteed or furnished by the U.S.
taxpayer. This factory built military truck and tank engines for the Soviet
Army. It was, and may still be, the largest factory in the world and could
produce more heavy trucks than all U.S. factories together. I believe Casey
was murdered.
The Knights of Malta is a world organization with its threads weaving
through business, banking, politics, the CIA, other intelligence organiza-
tions, P2, religion, education, law, military, think tanks, foundations, theUnited States Information Agency, the United Nations, and numerous
other organizations. They are not the oldest but are one of the oldestbranches of the Order of the Quest in existence. The world head of the
Knights of Malta is elected for a life term, with the approval of the Pope.
The Knights of Malta have their own Constitution and are sworn to worktoward the establishment of a New World Order with the Pope at its head.
Knights of Malta members are also powerful members of the CFR and theTrilateral Commission.
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 87
The Vatican has been infiltrated over many years by the Illuminati.
This is easily proven by the fact that in 1738 Pope Clement XII issued a
Papal Bull which stated that any Catholic who became a Mason would be
excommunicated, a very serious punishment. In 1884 Pope Leo XIII issued
a proclamation stating that Masonry was one of the secret societies attempting
to "revive the manners and customs of the pagans'' and "estab-
lish Satan's kingdom on Earth." Piers Compton, in his book The Broken
Cross, traces the infiltration of the Catholic Church by the Illuminati. He
has found the use of the all-seeing eye in the triangle by leading Catholics
and by the Jesuits. It was used in the seal of the Philadelphia Eucharistic
Congress in 1976. It was on a special issue of Vatican stamps in 1978,
announcing the final Illuminati victory to the world. Mr. Compton claims
that Pope John XXIII wore the "all-seeing eye in the triangle" on his
personal cross. Compton is adamant that several HUNDRED leading
Catholic priests, bishops and cardinals are members of secret societies. He
quotes an article in an Italian Journal that lists more than 70 Vatican
officials, including Pope Paul VI's private secretary, the director general of
Vatican radio, the Archbishop of Florence, the prelate of Milan, the assis
tant editor of the Vatican newspaper, several Italian bishops, and the abbot
of the Order of St. Benedict. Those are only the ones that are known and
only the ones known in Italy. It is widely believed that THIS Pope, John
Paul XXII, is a member of the Illuminati. I believe, according to my re-
search, that it is true. The best indication of infiltration is that on November
27,1983, the Pope retracted all of the Papal Bulls against Freemasonry
and allowed Catholics, after several hundred years, to again become mem-
bers of secret societies without fear of excommunication. The goal of the
Illuminati to elect one of their own to the Papacy appears to have come to
fruition. If that is the case, the New World Order is just on the horizon.
Now is the time.
The first U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican was William Wilson, a Knight
of Malta. His appointment was probably illegal and, for a fact, was highly
unethical. Wilson could not possibly have represented the U.S. when his
allegiance was sworn to the Pope.
Wilson, if you will remember, took an unauthorized trip to Libya and
met privately with Libyan officials at a time when travel to Libya had been
banned by the President. President Ronald Reagan had called Gadhafi "a
mad dog" and made a few strong threats. The U.S. had been resolute in
bombing Libya even though civilians were killed. Following Wilson's trip,
Gadhafi issued a press release stating that "an American diplomat had
been sent to reduce tensions with Libya." The State Department denied
that any such thing had taken place. Ambassador Wilson closed his mouth
88 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
and refused any comment. To this day he has said nothing, even though
his actions made a liar of the United States and embarrassed us worldwide.
A clue to what was happening is the fact that while we had cut off
Libya and even bombed them and while travel by U.S. citizens to Libya
was forbidden, five huge oil conglomerates were filling their pockets deal-
ing with Gadhafi. One of the companies was headed by J. Peter Grace,
President of W.R. Grace. Eight members of the W.R. Grace Company are
members of the Knights of Malta. According to an article by Leslie Geld in
the New York Times, administration officials had expressed concern about
Mr. Wilson's activities. These actions, they said, often seem to revolve
around his contacts and interest in the oil business.
Wilson should have been fired, but instead nothing happened except
that he and his wife attended a Papal Easter Mass and stood next to George
Schultz and his wife. In diplomatic language this indicated private ap-
proval of his actions. George Schultz, of course, is a member of the CFR,
the Bohemian Club and the Bechtel Corporation, all of which have close
ties to the Order and the Knights of Malta.
Wilson engaged in several other improprieties during his ambassadorship.
Again, in each case nothing happened. Finally he resigned.
Later, if you will remember, President Reagan suffered a fall from a horse
on William Wilson's ranch in Mexico. Do you seriously think that Presi-
dent Reagan would have visited Wilson's home in Mexico if he had not
approved of Wilson's actions while he was the U.S. Ambassador to the
Vatican?
Knight of Malta Myron Taylor was President Roosevelf s envoy.
Knight of Malta John McCone was President Kennedy's envoy and he was
also the Director of the CIA during the early '60s. A former mayor of New
York City, Robert Wagner, was President Jimmy Carter's envoy. Frank
Shakespeare replaced William Wilson. Frank Shakespeare is a Knight of
Malta, and so it goes. President Reagan spoke at the annual Knights of
Malta dinner.
The Knights of Malta ALL have diplomatic immunity. They can ship
goods across borders without paying duty or undergoing customs check.
Does that ring any bells? In any case, that is power.
The Knights of Malta is held up by a backbone consisting of nobility.
Nearly half of the 10,000 members belong to Europe's oldest and most
powerful families. This cements the alliance between the Vatican and the
"Black Nobility." The Black Nobility is mostly the rich and powerful of
Europe. The head of the Black Nobility is the family that can claim direct
descendancy from the last Roman emperor. Maybe now you can see that
things are beginning to fall into their proper place. Membership in the
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 89
Knights of Malta entails obedience to one's superior in THE ORDER and
ultimately to the Pope. Therefore, a U.S. ambassador who is also a member
of the Knights of Malta faces a conflict of interest. Why is this fact ignored?
President Bush appointed Knight of Malta Thomas Melledy to the post of
U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican.
The Vatican has founded the Pope John Paul II Center for Prayer and
Study for Peace at 1711 Ocean Avenue, Springlake, New Jersey, in a mansion
overlooking the ocean. The mansion was given to the New York
Archdiocese by the estate of Elmer Bobst, who died in 1978. He was a
multimillionaire and chairman of Warner Lambert Company. Richard
Nixon was a frequent visitor. Directors of the Center were Kurt Waldheim,
former Secretary General of the United Nations and ex-nazi war criminal;
Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State under Carter and member of both
the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission; Clare
Booth Luce, a dame of the Knights of Malta; and J. Peter Grace of W.R.
Grace Company, who is head of the Knights of Malta in the United States.
The Center was set up by the Vatican as a part of the Pope's new peace
plan, which will bring the world together (see my paper "The Secret
Government"). The Center has two roles: (1) Educate Catholics and their
children to accept the New World Order. (2) Provide residence for the
world-peace-solution computer and an ongoing study for peaceful solutions
to any future problems which may endanger world peace. The computer
is hooked to the world capitals via satellite. All nations have agreed
to relinquish sovereignty to the Pope and submit future problems to the
computer for solution. Of course, this will not go into effect until the New
World Order is publicly announced. I believe that the New World Order
was born in secrecy on January 19,1989. Now you know.
Acquaint yourself anew with the teachings of Jesus. Compare his
teachings with the tenets of the Illuminati and then compare it with the
following. The Vatican has stated at various times that "the Pope is for
total disarmament; the Pope is for elimination of the sovereignty of the
nation states; the Pope is also stating that property rights are not to be
considered true property rights. The Pope believes that only the Vatican
knows what is right for man."
In the early 1940s, the I.G. Farben Chemical Company employed a
Polish salesman who sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz. The
same salesman also worked as a chemist in the manufacture of the poison
gas. This same cyanide gas along with Zyklon B and malathion was used
to exterminate millions of Jews and other groups. Their bodies were then
burned to ashes in the ovens. After the war the salesman, fearing for his
life, joined the Catholic Church and was ordained a priest in 1946. One of
90 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
his closest friends was Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the mastermind behind the
November/78 to October/79 and March/80 to October/81 experimental
hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Center for Disease Control in
New York, San Francisco and four other American cities that loosed the
plague of AIDS upon the American people. The salesman was ordained
Poland's youngest bishop in 1958. After a 30-day reign his predecessor
was assassinated and our ex-cyanide gas salesman assumed the papacy as
Pope John Paul II.
1990 is the right time with the right leaders: ex-chief of the Soviet
secret police Mikhail Gorbachev, ex-chief of the CIA George Bush, ex-Nazi
cyanide gas salesman Pope John Paul II, all bound by an unholy alliance to
ring in the New World Order.
The Pope has challenged world leaders by claiming that the people of
the world already recognize the absolute authority of Rome because they
observe the Sunday Sabbath that was ordered by the Pope in the Council of
Laodicea (A.D. 364). The original Ten Commandments given Moses by
God ordered that we should:
Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it Holy. Six days shalt
thou labor, and do all thy work:
but the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in
it thou shalt not do any work,
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
thy man servant, nor thy maid servant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates: for in six
days the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is,
and rested the seventh day: wherefore
the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
The seventh day, the Sabbath as handed to Moses by God, is Saturday
The celebration of Sunday as the Sabbath is verification that the people
recognize the Pope as SUPERIOR TO GOD. The only WHOLE people who
have not recognized the authority of the Pope are the Jewish people, and
that is why the Vatican has not and will not recognize the state of Israel.
The Vatican refuses even to call it Israel. Instead the Vatican says Palestine
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 91
when talking about Israel. AGAIN, I MUST REMIND YOU THAT WHAT
YOU BELIEVE MAKES NOT ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE. THE IMPORTANT
THING TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT IF THEY BELIEVE THIS, IT IS
GOING TO GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES.
"The Pope has a lot of charisma and in a one world system you need a
religious head for power. Khomeini proved that. This Pope has enough
following and charisma to make what we consider a great threat in this
move." [Quote from The Mantooth Report.]
"Pope John Paul II is most anxious to complete his goal. His goal is to
reunite the Christian World under the LEADERSHIP OF THE PAPACY. If
at all possible, he hopes to reach his goal by the end of this century. This is
the primary reason behind the Pope's many worldwide trips." [From an
article by Gene H. Hogberg, Nov./Dec. 1989, Plain Truth.]
Were you aware that Hitler and his entire staff were Catholic? Did you
know that the Nazis dabbled in the occult? Did you know that the New
York Times of April 14,1990, quotes George Bush as stating, "Lefs forgive
the Nazi war criminals." I wonder why he said that? Did you know that
the Los Angeles Times, December 12,1984, quoted Pope John Paul II as
saying, "Don't go to God for forgiveness of sins, come to me." The Pope
committed blasphemy, thus fulfilling prophecy according to the book of
Revelation. The Pope is telling us that HE IS God!
REMEMBERNEVER WORSHIP A LEADER. IF YOU WORSHIP A
LEADER, YOU THEN NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE
WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED!
On July 21, 1773, Pope Clement XIV "forever annulled and extinguished
the Jesuit Order." France, Spain and Portugal had independently
come to realize that the Jesuits were meddling in the affairs of the state and
were therefore enemies of the government. The Pope's action was a response
to pressure applied by the monarchies. King Joseph of Portugal
signed a decree "by which the Jesuits were denounced as 'traitors, rebels
and enemies to the realm...'" Pope Pius VII in August, 1814, reinstated the
Jesuits to all of their former rights and privileges.
Ex-President John Adams wrote to his successor, Thomas Jefferson: "I
do not like the re-appearance of the Jesuits. If ever there was a body of men
who merited eternal damnation on earth...it is this Society..." Jefferson
replied: "Like you, I disapprove of the restoration of the Jesuits, for it
means a step backwards from light into darkness."
The Jesuits are still in trouble today as they have been throughout their
existence. On February 28,1982, Pope Paul II told the Jesuits to "keep clear
of politics and honor Roman Catholic tradition." U.S. News and World
Report stated that the Jesuits had indeed meddled in the affairs of nations.
92 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
The article stated: "Jesuits have played leading roles in Nicaragua's Sandinista
revolution. Some Jesuits have joined Communist parties. One
priest in El Salvador has claimed that his order is working for the advance-
ment of Marxism and revolution, not for God....Jesuits have joined left-
wing rebel movements in Central America and the Philippines, and have
advocated a melding of Marxism and Roman Catholicism in what is called
'liberation theology.'"
When the United States wanted to employ the nastiest forms of the
Haig-Kissinger depopulation policy in Central America it was the Jesuits
who organized and prodded the people into civil war. Wherever the
Jesuits go, revolution quickly follows. I am always sad when I see or hear
of people being hurt; but according to my research, the Jesuit priests
murdered in Central America probably deserved it.
The most powerful secret organization in the world is the Bilderberg
Group, organized in 1952 and named after the hotel where its first meeting
took place in 1954. The man who organized the Bilderberg Group, Prince
Bernhard of the Netherlands, has the power to veto the Vatican's choice of
any Pope it selects. Prince Bernhard has this veto power because his
family, the Hapsburgs, are desended from the Roman emperors. Prince
Bernhard is the leader of the Black Families. He claims descent from the
House of David and thus can truly say that he is related to Jesus. Prince
Bernhard, with the help of the CIA, brought the hidden ruling body of the
Illuminati into public knowledge as the Bilderberg Group. This is the
official alliance that makes up the world governing body.
The core of the organization is three committees made up of thirteen
members each. Thus the heart of the Bilderberg Group consists of 39 total
members of the Illuminati. The three committees are made up exclusively
of members of all the different secret groups that make up the Illuminati,
the Freemasons, the Vatican, and the Black Nobility. This committee works
year round in offices in Switzerland. It determines who is invited to the
annual meeting and what policies and plans will be discussed. Every
proposal or plan that has ever been discussed at an annual meeting of the
Bilderberg Group has come to pass usually within one or two years follow-
ing the meeting. The Bilderberg Group is directing the "quiet war" that is
being waged against us. How can they do it? These are the men who
REALLY rule the world.
The numbers 3,7,9,11,13,39 and any multiple of these numbers have
special meaning to the IUuminati. Notice that the Bilderberg Group has a
core of 39 members who are broken into 3 groups of 13 members in each
group. Notice that the core of 39 answers to the 13 who make up the Policy
Committee. Take special notice that the 13 members of the Policy Commit
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 93
tee answer to the Round Table of Nine. You know that the original number
of states in the United States of America was 13. The Constitution has 7
Articles and was signed by 39 members of the Constitutional Convention.
The United States was born on July 4,1776. July is the 7th month of the
year. Add 7 (for July) and 4 and you have 11; 1+7+7+6 = 21, which is a
multiple of 3 and 7. Add 2+1 and you get 3. Look at the numbers in 1776
and you see two 7s and a 6, which is a multiple of 3. Coincidence, you say?
I say, "Baloney!" and I'd really like to say something a lot stronger. For
those of you who still say it's accidental, however, I offer the following
evidence. I could write a book just on numerical links, but I won't.
Manly P. Hall, 33rd-degree Mason, probably the most renowned expert
on these subjects, wrote in his book The Secret Destiny of America, "For
more than THREE THOUSAND YEARS [WC emphasis], secret societies
have labored to create the background of knowledge necessary to the
establishment of an enlightened democracy among the nations of the
world....all have continued...and they still exist, as the Order of the Quest.
Men bound by a secret oath to labor in the cause of world democracy
decided that in the American colonies they would plan the roots of a new
way of life. The Order of the Quest...was set up in America before the
middle of the 17th century....Franklin spoke for the Order of the Quest, and
most of the men who worked with him in the early days of the American
Republic were also members....Not only were many of the founders of the
United States Government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and
august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this
country for a particular purpose known only to the initiated few." I found
these quotes in a book on page 133. When added together, 1+3+3 equal the
number 7 coincidence? I think not.
We can get a little insight into the Order of the Quest from Franklin D.
Roosevelt's Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, the man directly responsible
for the printing of the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States
on the one-dollar bill. Mr. Wallace, a member of the Order of the Quest,
wrote in a letter to the Russian mystic and artist Nicholas Roerich: "The
search whether it be for the lost word of Masonry, or the Holy Chalice,
or the potentialities of the age to come is the one supremely worthwhile
objective. All else is karmic duty. But surely everyone is a potential Gala-
had? So may we strive for the Chalice and the flame above it." The Holy
Grail has a way of popping up on a regular basis in the writings of secret
In the Great Seal of the United States we see the ancient symbol of the
Brotherhood of the Snake (or Dragon), which as you already know is the
all-seeing eye in the pyramid representing Lucifer in the form of wisdom.
94 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Just below the pyramid you will note "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which
translated means, "New World Order." There are
9 tail feathers on the eagle;
13 leaves in the olive branches;
13 bars and stripes;
13 arrows;
13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum";
13 stars in the green crest above;
13 stones in the pyramid;
13 letters in "Annuit Coeptis."
Thirteen is the mystical number assigned to Satan, according to Stan
Deyo in his excellent book entitled Cosmic Conspiracy.
All of these mystical numbers also have special meaning to the Freemasons.
You would have to be a devout skeptic to miss the tremendoussignificance of all of these supposed coincidences. Who among you canstill say that there is no link?
I read while in Naval Intelligence that at least once a year, maybe
more, two nuclear submarines meet beneath the polar icecap and matetogether at an airlock. Representatives of the Soviet Union meet with thePolicy Committee of the Bilderberg Group. The Russians are given thescript for their next performance. Items on the agenda include the combined
efforts in the secret space program governing Alternative 3. I nowhave in my possession official NASA photographs of a moonbase in thecrater Copernicus.
This method of meeting is the only way that is safe from detection
and/or bugging. The public outcry that would result would destroy
everything should these meetings be discovered. A BBC-TV documentary
program entitled "Science Report" revealed these same facts but subse-
quently issued a retraction. In their retraction they stated that the show
had been fiction. It must be noted here that "Science Report" was a veryrespected documentary nonfiction program in Britain. Never in its
history had it ever aired fiction. This subject is explored in depth in another
chapter. There is no other method that I know of to verify these meetings
short of somehow becoming a crew member on one of the submarines. Is
Alternative 3 true, or is it a part of the plan to ring in the New World Order?
It really doesn't matter, because either way we're screwed. The quicker
you understand that, the wiser you become.
The members of the Bilderberg Group are the most powerful financiers,
industrialists, statesmen and intellectuals, who get together each year
Chapter Two Secret Societies and the New World Order 95
for a private conference on world affairs. The meetings provide an infor-
mal, off-the-record opportunity for international leaders to mingle, and are
notorious for the cloak of secrecy they are held under. The headquarters
office is in The Hague in Switzerland, the only European country never
invaded or bombed during World Wars I and II. Switzerland is the seat of
world power. The goal of the Bilderberg Group is a one-world totalitarian
socialist government and economic system. Take heed, as time is running
short.
You must understand that secrecy is wrong. The very fact that a
meeting is secret tells me that something is going on that I would not
approve. Do not ever believe that grown men meet on a regular basis just
to put on fancy robes, hold candles, and glad-hand each other. George
Bush, when he was initiated into the Skull & Bones, did not lie naked in a
coffin with a ribbon tied around his genitalia and yell out the details of all
his sexual experiences because it was fun. He had much to gain by accepting
initiation into the Order, as you can now see. These men meet for
important reasons, and their meetings are secret because what goes on
during the meetings would not be approved by the community. THE
VERY FACT THAT SOMETHING IS SECRET MEANS THERE IS SOME-
THING TO HIDE.
John Robison wrote Proofs of a Conspiracy in 1798, and I believe he said
it best in the following passage from the book. "Nothing is so dangerous as
a mystic Association. The object remaining a secret in the hands of the
managers, the rest simply put a ring in their own noses, by which they may
be led about at pleasure; and still panting after the secret they are the better
pleased the less they see of their way.
"A mystical object enables the leader to shift his ground as he pleases,
and to accommodate himself to every current fashion or prejudice. This
Again gives him almost unlimited power; for he can make use of these
prejudices to lead men by troops. He finds them already associated by
their prejudices, and waiting for a leader to concentrate their strength and
set them in motion. And when once great bodies of men are set in motion,
with a creature of their fancy for a guide, even the engineer himself cannot
say, 'Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther.'"
Is the common man really as stupid as the elite seem to believe? If he
is, then maybe the average citizen is better off ignorant, being manipulated
this way and that, whenever the elite deem it necessary. We will discover
the answer very quickly when the common man finds that his "E" ticket to
Fantasy Land has just expired.
I hope I have shown you the role of secret societies and groups within
the world power structure. I hope you can see how these groups gain and
96 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
keep power. You should have some understanding of how, operating in
secrecy and infiltrating every level of government and vital industry including
the press, the elect manipulate the people and nations of the world
toward any direction desired. I hope you caught on to the fact that the
secret power structure is toward a totalitarian socialist state (fascism). It is
not the Nazis, as they were a product of this power structure. It is not the
Jews, although some very wealthy Jews are involved. It is not the Communists,
as they fit the same category as the Nazis. It is not the bankers,
but they do play an important role. I also hope that you are beginning to
look inside yourself to see if THEIR reality fits. Are you getting the mes-
sage? For a better understanding of secret societies and their role through-
out the ages, I recommend you read the books listed as source material at
the end of this chapter.
U.S. President Bush and Soviet President Gorbachev arrived yester-
day on this Mediterranean island for a summit conference beginning today
during which both hope to start the search for a New World Order.

from
A Mother Who States That Her Son Took This Oath
(and Who Must Remain Unidentified)
and
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE, 1913, p. 3216.
(furnished by Dr. Ron Brown)
Not yet, O Freedom! close thy lids in

100 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Author's Note: The author makes no claims whatsoever regarding this oath.
It was handed to me by a woman who claimed that her son took this oath.
Another source, Dr. Ron Brown, independent of and not known by the first,
furnished a copy of the Congressional Record of the House of Representatives
dated February 15,1913, where the same oath is entered as purported to be of
the Knights of Columbus. The Congressman may have been wrong, however,
since the content indicates that this oath may belong either to the Society of
Jesus (otherwise known as the Jesuits) or to the Knights of Malta, which is themilitia of the Pope. I include this oath only as an example that such oaths do
in fact exist and are subversive. Because of the impeccably correct and dif-
ficult level of English used, the obvious expert knowledge of religious ter-
minology and form, and the content and format of this oath, I consider it
highly unlikely that it is a forgery. You must be the ultimate judge of its
authenticity. The truth will win.
THE OATH
I________________________ , now in the presence of Almighty God,
the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the Holy Apostles,
St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the saints, sacred host of heaven, and to you,
my Ghostly Father, the superior general of the Society of Jesus founded by
St. Ignatius Loyola, in the pontification of Paul the III and continued to the
present, do by the womb of the Virgin, the matrix of God, and the rod of
Jesus Christ, declare and swear that His Holiness the Pope, is Christ's vice
regent and is the true and only head of the Catholic or Universal Church
throughout the earth; and that by virtue of the keys of binding and loosing
given His Holiness by my Savior, Jesus Christ, he hath power to depose
heretical kings, princes, States, Commonwealths, and Governments and
they may be safely destroyed. Therefore to the utmost of my power I will
defend this doctrine and His Holiness's right and custom against all usurpers
of the heretical or Protestant authority whatever, especially the Luth-
eran Church of Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and
the now pretended authority and Churches of England and Scotland, and
the branches of same now established in Ireland and on the Continent of
America and elsewhere, and all adherents in regard that they may be
usurped and heretical, opposing the sacred Mother Church of Rome.
I do now denounce and disown any allegiance as due to any heretical
king, prince, or State, named Protestant or Liberals, or obedience to any of
their laws, magistrates, or officers.
I do further declare that the doctrine of the Churches of England and
Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots, and others of the name of Protes
Chapter Three Oath of Initiation of an Unidentified Secret Order 101
tants or Masons to be damnable, and they themselves to be damned who
will not forsake the same.
I do further declare that I will help assist, and advise all or any of His
Holiness's agents, in any place where I should be, in Switzerland, Germany,
Holland, Ireland, or America, or in any other kingdom or territory I
shall come to and do my utmost to extirpate the heretical Protestant or
Masonic doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, legal or
otherwise.
I do further promise and declare that, notwithstanding I am dispensed
with to assume any religion heretical for the propagation of the Mother
Church's interest to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from
time to time, as they intrust me and not divulge, directly or indirectly, by
word, writing, or circumstances whatever but to execute all that should be
proposed, given in charge or discovered unto me by you my Ghostly
father, or any of this sacred order.
I do further promise and declare that I will have no opinion or will of
my own or any mental reservation whatsoever, even as a corpse or cadaver
(perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command
that I may receive from my superiors in the militia of the Pope and of
Jesus Christ.
That I will go to any part of the world whithersoever I may be sent, to
the frozen regions north, jungles of India, to the centers of civilization of
Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America without
murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things whatsoever is
communicated to me.
I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity pre-
sents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly against all heretics,
Protestants and Masons, as I am directed to do to extirpate them from
the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex, or
condition, and that will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury
alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their
women, and crush their infants' heads against the walls in order to annihi-
late their execrable race. That when the same can not be done openly, I will
secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the
poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or
authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either
public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agents of
thePope or superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of
Jesus.
In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all
corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive I will subscribe
102 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
my name written in my blood in testimony thereof; and should I prove
false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and fellow soldiers
of the militia of the Pope cut off my hands and feet and my throat from ear
to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned therein with all the punish-

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD SENATE
Mr. OWEN:
I wish to put in the Record the secret treaty of Verona of November 22,
1822, showing what this ancient conflict is between the rule of the few and
the rule of the many. I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this treaty
because it is the threat of this treaty which was the basis of the Monroe
doctrine. It throws a powerful white light upon the conflict between mon-
archical government and government by the people. The Holy Alliance
under the influence of Metternich, the Premier of Austria, in 1822, issued
this remarkable secret document:
AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC CODE, 1778-1884
The undersigned, specially authorized to make some additions to the
treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective creden-
tials, have agreed as follows:
ARTICLE 1. The high contracting powers, being convinced that the
system of representative government is equally as incompatible with the
monarchical principles as the maxim of the sovereignty of the people with
the divine right, engage mutually, in the most solemn manner, to use all
their efforts to put an end to the system of representative governments, in
whatever country it may exist in Europe, and to prevent its being introduced
in those countries where it is not yet known.
ARTICLE 2. As it can not be doubted that the liberty of the press is
the most powerful means used by the pretended supporters of the rights of
nations to the detriment of those of princes, the high contracting parties
promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress it, not only
in their own States but also in the rest of Europe.
ARTICLE 3. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute
most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which
they owe to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their
intention to sustain in their respective States those measures which the
clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorating their own interests, so
intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the princes;
and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for
what he has already done for them, and solicit his constant cooperation in
their views of submitting the nations.
ARTICLE 4. The situation of Spain and Portugal unite unhappily all
the circumstances to which this treaty has particular reference. The high
Chapter Four Secret Treaty of Verona 105
contracting parties, in confiding to France the care of putting an end to
them, engaged to assist her in the manner which may the least compromit
[sic] them with their own people and the people of France by means of a
subsidy on the part of the two empires of 20,000,000 of francs every year
from the date of the signature of this treaty to the end of the war.
ARTICLE 5. In order to establish in the Peninsula the order of things
which existed before the revolution of Cadiz, and to insure the entire
execution of the articles of the present treaty, the high contracting parties
give to each other the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are
not fulfilled, rejecting all other ideas of utility or other measure to be taken,
they will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the
authorities existing in their States and to all their agents in foreign coun-
tries, with the view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment
of the objects proposed by this treaty.
ARTICLE 6. This treaty shall be renewed with such changes as new
circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the
court of one of the contracting parties, as soon as the war with Spain shall
be terminated.
ARTICLE 7. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications
exchanged at Paris within the space of six months.
Made at Verona
the 22nd November, 1822.

Mr. OWEN:
I ask to have printed in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD this secret
treaty, because I think it ought to be called now to the attention of the
people of the United States and of the World. This evidence of the conflict
between the rule of the few versus popular government should be emphasized
on the minds of the people of the United States, that the conflict
now waging throughout the world may be more clearly understood, for
after all said the great pending war springs from the weakness and frailty
of government by the few, where human error is far more probable than the
error of the many where aggressive war is only permitted upon the authorizing
vote of those whose lives are jeopardized in the trenches of modern
war.
106 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Mr. SHAFROTH:
Mr. President, I should like to have the Senator state whether in that
treaty there was not a coalition formed between the powerful countries of
Europe to reestablish the sovereignty of Spain in the Republics of South
and Central America?
Mr. OWEN:
I was just going to comment upon that, and I am going to take but a
few moments to do so because I realize the pressure of other matters. This
Holy Alliance, having put a Bourbon prince upon the throne of France by
force, then used France to suppress the constitution of Spain immediately
afterwards and by this very treaty gave her a subsidy of 20,000,000 francs
annually to enable her to wage war upon the people of Spain and prevent
their exercise of any measure of the right of self-government. The Holy
Alliance immediately did the same thing in Italy, by sending Austrian
troops to Italy, where the people there attempted to exercise a like measure
of liberal constitutional self-government; and it was not until the printing
press, which the Holy Alliance so stoutly opposed, taught the people of
Europe the value of liberty that finally one country after another seized a
greater and greater right of self-government until now it may be fairly said
that nearly all the nations of Europe have a very large measure of self-
government.
However, I wished to call the attention of the Senate and the country
to this important history in the growth of constitutional popular self-
government. The Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale
drastic suppression of the press in Europe, by universal censorship, by
killing free speech and all ideas of popular rights, and by the complete
suppression of popular government. The Holy Alliance having destroyed
popular government in Spain and in Italy, had well-laid plans also to
destroy popular government in the American colonies which had revolted
from Spain and Portugal in Central and South America under the influence
of the successful example of the United States. It was because of this
conspiracy against the American Republics by the European monarchies
that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our
Government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson,
took an active part to bring about the declaration by President Monroe in
his next annual message to the Congress of the United States that the
United States would regard it as an act of hostility to the Government of the
United States and an unfriendly act if this coalition or if any power of
Europe ever undertook to establish upon the American Continent any
control of any American Republic or to acquire any territorial rights.
Chapter Four Secret Treaty of Verona 107
This is the so-called Monroe doctrine. The threat under the secret
treaty of Verona to suppress popular government in the American Republics
is the basis of the Monroe doctrine. This secret treaty sets forth clearly
the conflict between monarchical government and popular government
and the government of the few as against the government of the many. It
is a part in reality, of developing popular sovereignty when we demand for
women equal rights to life, to liberty, to the possession of property, to an
equal voice in the making of the laws and the administration of the laws,
This demand on the part of the women is made by men, and it ought to be
made by men as well as by thinking, progressive women, as it will promote
human liberty and human happiness. I sympathize with it, and I hope that
all parties will in the national conventions give their approval to this larger
measure of liberty to the better half of the human race.
Author's Note: Anyone who believes that the monarchs, after being deposed,
forgave and forgot, is not playing with a full deck.
Most of these families are wealthy beyond belief and may be more powerful
today than when they sat upon thrones. Today they are known collectively as
the Black Nobility. Just because the secret treaty of Verona was signed in 1822
does not mean that the treaty is void. It is imperative that you realize that
privately, the Black Nobility refuses to ever recognize any government other
than heir own inherited and divine right to rule. They work diligently behind
the scenes to cause conditions whereby they might regain their crowns.
They believe that the United States belongs to England.

Mark Twain, 1885
110 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
THE BALANCE OF POWER
When our forefathers wrote the Constitution of these United States
they provided safeguards against despotism by providing a balance of
power. The Constitution was set up to provide clear divisions of Legislative,
Judicial, and Executive powers. It was believed that this system
would ensure that if one branch got out of hand the other two would act to
keep the one in check. This balance of power was predicated upon the
assumption that none of the three branches could or would infringe upon
the power of the others.
The Constitution is clear on the functions of each of the branches. The
Legislative will make the laws. The Judicial will interpret the law. The
Executive will decide policy and enforce the law. This, of course, is the
simplest of explanations, but this is not a textbook on government. My
intent is to acquaint you with simple basics of the balance of power so that
you can then understand how it has been subverted.
The Legislature (Congress in the form of the House and Senate) is
required to publish the laws that are made, and this is done in the Congres
sional Record and the Federal Register. Pending or passed legislation can
be obtained by citizens through their Congressmen or from the Government
Printing Office. Citizens cannot be held responsible for the law if it is
not made available to them.
It is paradoxical that the government body most representative of the
American citizen is the one that has been the most easily subverted.
Through PACs, payoffs, pork-barrel politics, professional politicians, Con-
gressmen who are members of secret societies and through greed and fear,
our Representatives and Senators quit representing us long ago.
Congress has tremendous powers but fails in most cases to exercise
even a token amount. How is it that our Legislature has allowed and at
times encouraged the Executive branch to write law? You probably did not
know that the President and others in the Executive branch of the govern-
ment can and do write law. This is done in the form of Presidential
Executive orders, National Security Council memos, National Security
Decision directives, and National Security directives.
NSC memos were broad policy papers in the days after passage of the
National Security Act. NSC memos became narrower and more specific
over the years, and the name has varied. Under Kennedy they were called
National Security Action Memorandums. President Bush has changed the
name to National Security Directives.
There is a tremendous difference between Presidential Executive or-
ders, NSC memos, and National Security Decision directives. Presidential
Chapter Five Good-bye USA, Hello New World Order 111
Executive orders are listed in the Federal Register or Presidential Findings,
which are made known to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.
The most important difference between the Presidential Executive orders
and all of the others, no matter what they are called, is that the others do
not have to be reported, reviewed, made available to anyone, or even
acknowledged that they exist.
There is no oversight whatsoever that could maintain a check on the
legality of these National Security directives. The President and others
within the Executive branch have used these supersecret directives to skirt
the balance of power and write law without anyone's knowledge. Justification
of the President's power to write law through Executive orders
stems from the failure of the Government to rescind the declaration of
martial law during the Civil War. In effect, the United States has been
under martial law ever since Lincoln's administration.
These NSDs are powerful, hidden, and dangerous tools. They were
prolific during the Reagan administration: over 300 were written, with no
more than 50 ever leaking out to undergo public scrutiny. Yet most Ameri-
cans have never heard of these subversive weapons. They are being used
to destroy our Constitution. I believe that everyone should know about
this corruption of government.
Congress has turned a blind eye to these abuses of executive power.
At 3:30 a.m. Saturday, August 4,1990, the Senate made it even easier for the
Executive branch to subvert the Constitution and may have made George
Bush the first American king. At that time on that day, a minority of United
States senators, maybe ten at the most, passed Senate Intelligence Authori-
zation Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (S.B. 2834). This bill will fundamentally
change our constitutional system and threatens to destroy the very founda-
tions of our great nation. Since attention has been focused upon the Middle
East crisis, the public and most Congressmen know absolutely nothing
about this bill.
The bill was fraudulently introduced as a reform to prevent future
incidents of the abuses brought to light during the Iran-Contra scandal.
Instead of preventing future abuses, however, it virtually authorizes essentially
every abuse. The bill was carefully brought to a vote by Senator Sam
Nunn in the dead of night when the opposition was gone. It effectively
transfers most authority over the United States government directly into
the hands of George Bush and thus directly into the hands of the Secret
Government.
The President (presently George Bush) was given the power to initiate
war, appropriate public funds, define foreign policy goals, and decide what
is important to our national security. In "Oversight of Intelligence Ac
112 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
tivities," Tide VII, S.B. 2834 authorizes the following:
Gives the president power to initiate covert actions (this has never
before been given to the President); prevents Congress from stopping the
President's initiation of covert actions; allows the President to use any
federal ''departments, agencies, or entities'' to operate or finance a covert
operation; empowers the President to use any other nation or private
contractor or person to fund or operate a covert action; redefines covert
actions as operations "necessary to support foreign policy objectives of the
United States," a definition that is so vague and broad as to be essentially
unlimited; for the first time officially claims the right of the United States to
secretly interfere in the internal "political, economic, or military affairs" of
other countries in direct and flagrant violation of international law; re-
quires that the President prepare and deliver a written finding to the
Intelligence committees of the Congress but allows the President to omit
"extremely sensitive matters" and authorizes the President to claim execu-
tive privilege if Congress asks too many questions.
There are no penalties in the bill for violating any of its provisions,
including the provision requiring a finding. Why should there be? This
bill has literally handed the power of all the branches of government to the
President on a silver platter. President Bush is now truly American King
George the First. S.B. 2834 gives Bush the power to use any agency or
branch of the government and any appropriated funds from any agency or
branch of the government for covert action even if they were never appropriated
for that purpose. The bill effectively prevents any oversight by
anyone and allows the Executive branch to skirt the law and to escape
accountability. This will be done using National Security directives. A few
examples of past NSD directives that have come to light will help you
understand the seriousness of the matter. They will be listed in the following
paragraphs under the heading of the subject matter of the NSDDs:
NSDD 84: SAFEGUARDING NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION
[SECRECY], 3/11/83 (Declassified in full). SUBJECT: This directive
drastically expands restrictions on government employees' freedom of
speech. Those with access to classified information were required to sign a
nondisclosure agreement; those with access to a special category of clas-
sified information were made to agree to prepublication review of any
future writings. The use of polygraphs was authorized. PURPOSE: Pre-
vent disclosure of information that could damage national security. CONSEQUENCES:
The polygraph requirement was rescinded due to
Congressional opposition. Secrecy restrictions were imposed on more than
4 million government employees and CONTRACTORS for more than fifty
executive agencies. Many reporters' contacts were shut down. Govern
Chapter Five Good-bye USA, Hello New World Order 113
ment employees' unions and members of Congress sued to protect the
rights of whistleblowers, and the Supreme Court recently sent the case
back to the district level for review.
Author's Note: NSDD 84 indicates that John Lear, Robert Lazar, Bruce
Macabbee, Stanton Friedman, Clifford Stone, and many others may be activegovernment agents. They were all working in government jobs or for government
contractors and all of them were subject to this executive order. NSDD84 was not used to silence them, which seems to indicate that they had
executive approval in each and every instance.
NSDD 17: DETERRING CUBAN MODELS/COVERT ACTION IN
NICARAGUA, 11/23/81 (Classified). SUBJECT: The Central Intelligence
Agency was given authority to create the contras and "work with foreign
governments as appropriate" to undermine the Sandinista government of
Nicaragua. PURPOSE: To stop the flow of arms from Cuban and Nicara-
guan sources to the Salvadoran rebels. CONSEQUENCES: The C.I.A. was
given $19 million to assemble and arm a force of 500 contras to join with
1000 exiles already being trained by Argentina. Scores of operatives arrived
in Honduras; arms shipments from Miami began. The contra war
was set in motion.
NSDD 77: MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC DIPLOMACY RELATIVE
TO NATIONAL SECURITY, 1/14/83 (Declassified in full). SUBJECT: This
directive set up several planning groups to conduct "public diplomacy
activities." It ordered "organizational support for foreign governments
and private groups to encourage the growth of democratic political institutions
and practices." PURPOSE: To mobilize international and domestic
support for "our national security objectives." CONSEQUENCES:
Created propaganda ministries in the National Security Council, the State
Department and the White House that concentrated on, in the words of the
NSC staff member in charge of the program, "gluing black hats on the
Sandinistas and white hats on UNO" (the contras' United Nicaraguan
Opposition). Stories were planted in the press; journalists were pressured.
The General Accounting Office later found that these activities violated the
law banning "covert propaganda" inside the United States. How many
other covert propaganda programs do you think are operating against the
American Citizens? I can assure you that there are many more than you
would ever believe.
NSDD 138: INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM, 4/3/84 (Classified).
SUBJECT: This directive endorsed the principle of preemptive strikes and
retaliatory raids against terrorists and called on 26 Federal agencies to
recommend specific measures to combat terrorism. PURPOSE: To lessen
114 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
international terrorism and free U.S. hostages in Lebanon. While this NSD
directive pretends to be concerned about international terrorism, it is really
a thinly disguised authorization of preemptive strikes and retaliatory raids
against patriots in this country. When FEMA is activated, patriots will be
rounded up in the dead of night, most likely on a national holiday such as
Thanksgiving. Government agents and law-enforcement officers in every
city across the nation have received antiterrorist training under this NSDD
directive, and I can assure you the target is patriots. CONSEQUENCES:
Set up the Terrorist Incident Working Group under North in the NSC. Its
first major action was the interception and capture of the Achille Lauro
hijackers, which gave North's career an important boost.
Either NSDD 138 or a subsequent NSD directive on terrorism
authorized the training of three Lebanese units for preemptive strikes.
When problems arose, Director of Central Intelligence William Casey took
that operation off the books and enlisted Saudi Arabian help in an attempt
to assassinate the head of Hezbollah. A resulting car bombing killed about
eighty in Beirut; Sheik Fadlallah, the target was unhurt. The U.S. military,
along with civilian law-enforcement teams, conducted joint antiterrorist
training across America. To allay public fears the participants wore civilian
clothing.
NSD directives have become the de facto legislative vehicle of the
national security state. It has become known through the research of Susan
Fitzgerald, a research consultant at the Fund for Constitutional Government
in Washington who has collected declassified NSD directives, that
many were released without the White House letterhead at the top of the
page and without the President's signature at the bottom. This, she speculates,
is to conceal the fact that the signatures on some of them would reveal
that they had been made by autopen, not by Ronald Reagan's own hand.
That should give you a taste of what we are up against. Please understand
that virtually all but a very few NSD directives still remain classified, and
unless the public forces disclosure their effect will probably never be
known.
Somewhere within the volumes of secret NSD directives there is a plan
to suspend the Constitution of the United States of America. The existence
of this plan surfaced during the Iran-Contra hearings. Congressman Jack
Brooks (D), Texas, attempted to bring it into the open. When he asked Col.
North directly if North had ever helped draft a plan to suspend the Constitution,
Brooks was silenced by the committee chairman Senator Daniel
K. Inouye (D), Hawaii. Senator Inouye stated that the subject dealt with
national security, and any questions regarding the matter could be brought
up during a closed-door session. We never learned the outcome. I would
Chapter Five Good-bye USA, Hello New World Order 115
like to know who gave anyone, in any branch of government, with any
title, the right to suspend the Constitution at any time, for any reason,
under any conditions?
I believe the plan to suspend the Constitution is directly tied to the
underground facility called Mount Weather and to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA). Mount Weather is so shrouded in secrecy
that 99.9% of Americans have never heard of it. FEMA, however, is
another story. Remember Hurricane Hugo? Remember the federal agency
(FEMA) that was sent to handle the emergency and was thrown out by the
citizens because of gross incompetence? FEMA was incompetent, because
"emergency management" is just a guise for its real purpose, which is to
take over local, state, and federal government in case of a national emergency.
The only way FEMA could do such a thing is if the Constitution
Were suspended and martial law were to be declared. Therefore its very
existence is proof positive that a plan to suspend the Constitution does in fact exist.
MOUNT WEATHER
Just outside of a sleepy little town called Bluemont, Virginia, about 46
miles west of Washington D.C., is an area of wilderness covering what has
been called the toughest granite rock in the eastern United States. The area
is surrounded by signs marked "Restricted Area" and "This installation
has been declared a restricted area....Unauthorized entry is prohibited."
Other signs state: "All persons and vehicles entering hereon are liable to
search. Photographing, making notes, drawings, maps or graphic representations
of this area or its activities is prohibited. Such material found in
the possession of unauthorized persons will be confiscated. Internal Security
Act of 1950." The installation is beneath a mountain and its name is the
Western Virginia Office of Controlled Conflict Operations. Its nickname is
Mount Weather. It was ordered to be built by the Federal Civil Defense
Administration, which is now the Federal Preparedness Agency.
Mount Weather was designed in the early '50s as part of a civil defense
program to house and protect the Executive branch of the Federal govern-
ment. The official name was "The Continuity of Government Program."
Congress has repeatedly tried to discover the real purpose of Mount
Weather, but so far has been unable to find out ANYTHING about the
secret installation. Retired Air Force General Leslie W. Bray, director of the
Federal Preparedness Agency, told the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional
Rights in September 1975: "I am not at liberty to describe precisely
what is the role and the mission and the capability that we have at Mount
Weather or at any other precise location."
In June 1975, Senator John Tunney (D), California, chairman of the
116 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, charged that Mount Weather held
dossiers on at least 100,000 Americans. He later alleged that the Mount
Weather computers, described as "the best in the world," can obtain millions
of pieces of additional information on the personal lives of American
citizens simply by tapping the data stored at any of the other 96 Federal
Relocation Centers.
I know from my stint with the Office of Naval Intelligence that these
dossiers consist of information collected about American patriots, men and
women who are most likely to resist the destruction of our Constitution
and the formation of the totalitarian police state under the New World
Order. The patriot data bank is constantly updated so that when the
appointed hour arrives all patriots can be rounded up with little if any
effort. The plan calls for this to be accomplished in the dead of night on a
national holiday. The most likely holiday is Thanksgiving, when everyone,
no matter the religion, race, or creed, will be at home. The targets will be
ripe for the picking after a heavy meal, maybe some alcoholic beverages,
and during a deep sleep. There is a traitor in the patriot movement who
provides the Secret Government with accurate names and addresses of
patriots who will fight to protect and defend the Constitution.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT NO PATRIOT SHOULD EVER
BE AT HOME OR AT THE HOME OF ANY FAMILY MEMBER ON ANY
HOUDAY EVER AGAIN UNTIL THE TRAITORS HAVE BEEN HUNG
AND THE CONSTITUTION RESTORED AS THE SUPREME LAW OF
THE LAND.
Some sources state that Mount Weather is virtually an underground
city complete with dormitories, private apartments, streets, sidewalks,
cafeterias, hospitals, water-purification systems, power plant, office build-
ings, a lake fed by fresh water from underground springs, a mass-transit
system, and many other astounding things.
Several disturbing facts emerge when one researches Mount Weather.
One is the conclusion that a complete parallel government exists at the site.
Nine Federal departments exist there Agriculture, Commerce, HEW,
HUD, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, and the Treasury. Apparently
at least five Federal agencies are also in residence: FCC, Selective Service,
Federal Power Commission, Civil Service Commission, and the Veterans
Administration. Two privately owned corporations have offices at Mount
Weather: the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Post Office. There is also an
Office of the Presidency. What makes all this upsetting is that there is a
President and a complete set of cabinet officers in residence at Mount
Weather. Who are they and who appointed them? Where is such a thing
provided for in the Constitution of the United States of America?
Chapter Five Good-bye USA, Hello New World Order 117
Mount Weather is the operational center the hub of over 96 other
underground Federal Relocation Centers scattered across the United
States. The majority of these appear to be concentrated in Pennsylvania,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Each of these
facilities contains computer data banks holding information not on
enemy agents, Soviet diplomats, or suspected terrorists but on American
citizens, patriots. A list of other files kept at the facilities was furnished to
the Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights in 1975. The list included
"military installations, government facilities, communications, transporta-
tion, energy and power, agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale and retail
services, manpower, financial, medical and educational institutions, sani-
tary facilities, population, housing shelter, and stockpiles."
The committee concluded that these data bases "operate with few, if
any, safeguards or guidelines." Senator James Abourzek (D), South
Dakota, a member of the subcommittee, said, "I feel the entire operation
has eluded the supervision of either Congress or the courts." Chairman
Tunney said, "Mount Weather is out of control." Nothing was done by
Congress to rectify the situation, however, and Mount Weather remains out
of control.
Former high-level officials from Mount Weather agree that the base at
Mount Weather is much more than any standby government facility or
storage center for the preservation of records; they describe it as an ACTUAL
GOVERNMENT-IN-WAITING. "We do not merely store essential
information; the facility attempts to duplicate the vital functions of the
Executive branch of the Administration." As stated above, according to my
research, this includes a President and all Cabinet members actually in
residence. Protocol even demands that subordinates address them as "Mr.
President" or "Mr. Secretary." Most of these mysterious appointees have
held their positions through several administrations. "We just act on the
orders of the President in national emergencies," said one former Mount
Weather official.
The FPA in its 1974 Annual Report stated that "Studies conducted at
Mount Weather involve the control and management of domestic political
unrest where there are material shortages (such as food riots) or in strike
situations where the FPA determines that there are industrial disruptions
and other domestic resource crises." The report states that the bureaucracy
at Mount Weather invokes what it calls "Civil Crisis Management."
Officials who were at Mount Weather and who have furnished us with
data say that during the 1960s the complex was actually prepared to
assume certain governmental powers at the time of the 1961 Cuban missile
crisis and the assassination of President Kennedy In 1963. The source said
118 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
that the installation used the tools of its "Civil Crisis Management" pro-
gram on a standby basis during the 1967 and 1968 urban riots and during a
number of national antiwar demonstrations against the administration by
the American people.
Daniel J. Cronin, who was the assistant director for the FPA, outlined
a massive surveillance and manipulation program that is directed against
the American population on a continuing basis. The FPA has organized an
impressive armament of resources and equipment. Mr. Cronin described
in an interview his agency's attitude toward its wide-ranging surveillance
program. "We try to monitor situations," he said, "and get to them before
they become emergencies....No expense is spared in the monitoring program."
He cited reconnaissance satellites, local and state police intelli-
gence reports, and law-enforcement agencies of the Federal government as
examples of the resources available to the FPA for information-gathering.
The only document that I was able to find that attempts to outline
some of the statutory authority of Mount Weather is Executive Order
11490. It was drafted by Gen. George A. Lincoln, former director for the
Office of Emergency Preparedness (preceded FPA) and was signed into law
by President Nixon in October 1969. Executive Order 11490 superseded
Executive Order 11051, signed on October 2,1962, by President Kennedy.
Kennedy's order used the language, "Whereas, national preparedness
must be achievedas may be required to deal with increases in international
tension with limited war, or with general war including attack upon the
United States..." Nixon's order began: "Whereas our national security is
dependent upon our ability to assure continuity of government, at every
level, in any national emergency type situation that might conceivably
confront the nation..." Nixon has deleted any reference to "war," "imminent
attack," and "general war" from the order and replaced them with
the phrase "during any emergency that might CONCEIVABLY occur."
Nixon's order, which is the one in effect today, allows the government
in the form of FEMA to suspend the Constitution for literally any reason
they decide to call a national emergency. I CANNOT FIND A PLAN OR
EXECUTIVE ORDER ANYWHERE WHICH OUTLINES ANY PROCE-
DURE OR ALLOWANCE FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE CONSTITU-
TION AFTER A NATIONAL EMERGENCY HAS ENDED. THIS LEADS
TO THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION THAT NO RESTORATION OF THE
CONSTITUTION IS CONTEMPLATED OR DESIRED BY THOSE IN
POWER.
In 1975, Senator Tunney expressed concern, "We know, from what
we've heard in the press, that 15,000 names were being maintained by the
FBI for detention in an emergency...We also know that the IRS had its files
Chapter Five Good-bye USA, Hello New World Order 119
on individual taxpayers. We know that the CIA had their Operation
CHAOS and that the NSA has the records of conversations that have been
intercepted electronically. My question is this: Is there anyone like your-
self, General Bray, that is in control of the overall access to this data if it is
maintained in a relocation site? And your answer, as I understood it, is
no.'' Tunney continued: "General Bray, I must say that I still don't know
who's in control of these relocation centers....You say you don't have that
knowledge and still we don't know from the...three witnesses that we had
here today, that they had information as to who has control of those
centers."
"I am not at liberty," Bray answered, "to describe precisely what is the
role and the mission and the capability that we have at Mount Weather, or
at any other precise location." I firmly believe that our Continuity of
Government program has not provided continuity at all, but has been the
instrument for discontinuing open and democratic government, and that
the very program designed to protect Americans has actually been turned
against us.
We at the executive level here were active in either OSS, the State
Department, or the European Economic Administration. During those
times, and without exception, we operated under directions issued by the
White House. We are continuing to be guided by just such directives, the
substance of which were to the effect that we should make every effort to
so alter a life in the United States as to make possible a comfortable
merger with the Soviet Union.

122 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
FEMA
(Federal Emergency Management Agency)
The following is a transcript of an audiotape with an urgent message
to the people from William Cooper on the subject of H.R. 4079. We must
stop the traitors now. William Cooper dictated this information to me by
phone early in 1990 and I tape-recorded the information as he gave it. I
made many tapes and sent them out exactly as Mr. Cooper has asked me to
do and those recipients have done the same. My name is Richard Murray
and I believe that William Cooper is the only man in America outside the
Secret Government who truly knows what is happening and what it means
to us, the average American Citizens.
[Begin tape] There's a guy by the name of Buster Horton. He's a
member of FEMA, and he's a member of the interdepartmental unit which
is empowered in the event of a national security emergency to become the
unelected national government, a sort of FEMA secret government, so to
speak.
A pretext for invoking those emergency measures can be found almost
daily in the newspapers. It can be anything from the suspension of debt
payments by the high bureaus of American countries, to mass runs on U.S.
commercial banks and thaf s an issue, by the way, thafs being handled
personally by the National Security Council and Brent Scocroft to food
shortages, to the drug war. The whole bit anything, any disaster emer-
gency declared at all, even including the oil spill from the Exxon tanker in
Alaska. If the President had declared a national emergency, that could
have triggered it. Any instability in the Middle East anything, in fact.
And they've already tested their capabilities in April 1984 with REX84A.
And that was designed to test the readiness of the U.S. civilian and
military agencies to respond to a serious national security crisis.
Now, the Executive order that will implement this, the Executive
Order 11051, details responsibilities to the Office of Emergency Planning or
FEMA. It gives authorization to put ALL Executive orders into effect in
times of national emergency declared by the President, increased international
tension or economical or financial crisis. (Note that it covers every
conceivable domestic crisis but does not even mention war or nuclear
attack.)
Now, the only thing that has to happen for FEMA to be able to
implement all the executive orders, emergency executive orders, is for the
President to declare a national emergency of any type, as long as it's a
national emergency.
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 123
Executive Order 10995 provides for the takeover of the communica-
tions media.
Executive Order 10997 provides for the takeover of all electric, power,
petroleum, gas, fuels, and minerals.
Executive Order 10988 provides for the takeover of food resources and
farms.
Executive Order 10999 provides for the takeover of all modes of trans-
portation, control of highways, seaports, etc.
Executive Order 11000 provides for mobilization of all civilians into
work brigades under the Government supervision.
Executive Order 11001 provides for Governmental takeover of all
health, education and welfare functions.
Executive Order 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a
national registration of all persons.
Executive Order 11003 provides for the Government to take over
airports and aircraft.
Executive Order 11004 provides for the Housing and Finance Author-
ity to relocate communities, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish
new locations for populations.
Executive Order 11005 provides for the Government to take over
railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
Now, all of these were COMBINED under Nixon into one huge Executive
order, which allows all of this to take place if the President declares a
national emergency and it can be implemented by the head of FEMA, NOT
BY THE PRESIDENT. The President has already given him that power
under these executive orders.
All of these were combined into Executive Order 11490 and that was
signed by President Carter on July 20,1979, and is, in fact, law.
So, if H.R. 4079 is passed and the President does what it says and
declares a national emergency because of the drug situation, whether it's
for one year, five years, five minutes or forever, it doesn't make any difference.
FEMA then can implement all these Executive orders, take over all
local, state, and national government suspend the Constitution and do
whatever they want to do.
Now, remember what North said during the Iran-Contra hearings. He
said that they were prepared to suspend the Constitution of the United
States. And he said if it hadn't been for their getting caught that this would
have happened. And all that did was delay it. This is what is still going to
happen.
Now, they've nominated (and I think he's been appointed) Maj. Gen.
Calvin Franklin, who's the head of FEMA. He was nominated because of
124 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
discussions proposing the removal of the implementation of the National
Guard in Washington, D.C. And Maj. Gen. Franklin is or was the Commanding
General of the District of Columbia National Guard.
Now, you've got to know that the National Guard would be of no help
at all in combating drug traffic in Washington, D.C, or anywhere else. The
primary effectiveness of the National Guard is in controlling mass civil
disorders.
On March 24, President Bush issued a new Executive order delegating
to the Director of FEMA powers which were vested in the President by the
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988. And although the
order is described by the White House as simply a technical matter, in
reality the revision delegates to the FEMA Director, direct responsibility for
a large number of items which were earlier only the President's prerogative.
And that includes responsibility for General Federal Assistance, Fed-
eral Emergency Assistance, Hazard Mitigation, Individual and Family
Grant Programs, and the power to direct other federal agencies to assist in
an emergency. AND THAT'S THE KEY. All other federal agencies will
come under FEMA.
Of course, the President retains the power to actually declare an emergency,
but as soon as he does that, the implementation of the measures
utilized will be transferred directly to the Director of FEMA. The brains
behind this contingency plan for a police state were the members of the
Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, both of which
Bush is a member. And Brent Scocroft, National Security Adviser, who was
a member of FEMA's Advisory Board until he was appointed by Bush to
head the National Security Council, is a member of the Trilateral Commis-
sion and also a business partner of Henry Kissinger, who has been a traitor
to this country for many, many years. And of course Scocroft would
become the superior to FEMA in the chain of command of the National
Security Emergency whenever it is declared.
The FEMA Advisory Board is dominated by Prof. Samuel P. Hun-
tington. In 1978 Huntington drafted for Jimmy Carter Presidential Memo-
randum 32, which led to the creation of FEMA in 1979. And he's a Harvard
Professor.
He wrote the "Seminal Peace" for the Trilateral Commission in the
mid-1970s, recommending that democracy and economic development be
discarded as outdated ideas. He wrote, as co-author of the book Crises in
Democracy, "We have come to recognize that there are potential desirable
limits to economic growth. There are also potentially desirable limits to the
indefinite extension of political democracy. A Government which lacks
authority will have little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 125
people the sacrifices which may be necessary."
All of Huntington's ideas were rewritten into National Security Decision
Directive 47, which is in NSDD 47, and that was enacted by President
Reagan on July 22, 1982. It identified important areas to be upgraded, such
as the nation's industrial base to maintain the national defense, but it
nonetheless and this is very important laid the groundwork for the
secret government's options to institute a police state, and its title is Emergency
Mobilization Preparedness. It ordered preparedness measures that
involved the waiving or modification of socioeconomic regulations that
delay emergency responses and that should receive priority attention. It
also specified that preparedness measures that are or may be impeded by
legal constraints be identified in the priority task that lays the groundwork
for the SUSPENSION OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Make copies of this tape if you want to. You don't even have to
transcribe it if you don't want to. BUT GET THIS OUT TO THE PEOPLE.
It's important that they understand that if H.R. 4079 is passed they're
history.
They won't pass it if we get this out to the people and tell them that
this is what they're doing. Most people don't even know about it, and
that's to the Secret Government's benefit. If we get this out and tell people
what they're doing, then people can get on the phone and then go down
and kick their Congressman's ass (which is what they should have been
doing years ago) and get this thing thrown out of Congress. And the next
thing they need to do is throw their Congressmen and their Senators out of
Congress and keep them out of Congress. And put their neighbors in
there, people they can trust, and keep them in there for only one term. THE
CONSTITUTION IS IN SERIOUS DANGER.
This has nothing to do with the right wing, left wing, or any other
damn thing. It has to do with the Illuminati taking over this country and
joining in the New World Order.
When you give this out to people, make sure they agree to make ten
copies and send them to all their friends. [End of tape]
I decided that the transcript of this tape says it all. Why write it again?
H.R. 4079
As of this writing H.R. 4079 is still in committee and has not been
subjected to a vote. It is one of the most deceptive and dangerous pieces of
legislation to go in front of the Congress in many years. It must be stopped
at all costs. You must call your representative and stop this bill.
H.R. 4079 has included within its pages two provisions that are meant
126 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
to divert attention from the fact that the bill would declare a state of
national emergency for five years and would allow FEMA to literally take
over local, state, and federal government. This means that the Constitution
of the United States could be suspended.
The diversions used are terrible if allowed to sneak through. One is a
clause that would eliminate the 4th amendment to the Constitution and the
other would eliminate the 8th amendment to the Constitution. The diversion
would cause heated argument over these two provisions, resulting in
some sort of compromise while allowing the declaration of a 5-year state of
national emergency to sail right through Congress and become signed into
law. If that happens if s good-bye USA, hello New World Order.
Call your Congressman and insist that he/she deliver into your hands
a complete copy of H.R. 4079 immediately. Do not take no for an answer.
Read it and defeat it.
[Added before press time: H.R. 4079 may have been secretly passed just as
S.B. 2834 was passed and H.R. 4079 may be Public Law 101-647 signed into law
by President Bush on November 29, 1990. If this has occurred, then we are
already subject to a FEMA takeover. I am attempting to acquire a copy of P.L.
101-647. This late-breaking new was furnished by a Congressional staff member
and has not been verified as of January 8,1991.]

128 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Author's Note: The following report by Dr. Pabst concerning FEMA and
concentration camps in the United States is photographed and printed exactly
as written.
IN THE UNITED STATES
A National Emergency: Total Takeover
This is Dr. William R. Pabst. My address is 1434 West Alabama Street, Houston,
Texas 77006. My telephone number is: area code 713 521-9896. This is my 1979
updated reported on the concentration camp program of the Department of Defense of
the United States.
On April 20, 1976, after a rapid and thorough investigation, I filed suit on
behalf of the people of the United States against various personages that had a key
part in a conspiratorial program to do away with the United States as we know it. This
is a progress report to you, the plaintiffs, you, the People of the United States. The
civil action number is 76-H-667. It is entitled, "Complaint Against the Concentration
Camp Program of the Dept of Defense". It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
southern district of Texas, Houston division. The judge responsible for the case was
Judge Carl Bue.
You have no doubt heard the story: Once upon a time, under the Nazi regime in
Germany, a man worked on an assembly line in a baby carriage factory. His wife was
going to have a baby, but the Nazi government would not let anybody buy a baby
carriage. The man decided he would secretly collect one part from each department
and assemble the carriage himself. When this was done he and his wife gathered up the
pieces and assembled it. When they were finished they did not have a baby carriage;
they had a machine gun.
And that is exactly the situation that I am going to present to you at this time.
The Center for the Study for Democratic Institutions recently completed a proposed
constitution for the "Newstates of America". The Center is Rockefeller funded. To give
you an indication of the type of constitution proposed, the term "national emergency"
is mentioned 134 times. The document did not have a Bill of Rights and the right to
own arms was taken away. At the same time, House Concurrent Resolution #28
awaited for calling a constitutional convention on or before July 4, 1976. The
presiding officer of such an event would have been Nelson Rockefeller. Vice Presidenl
and president pro tern of the Senate. This particular resolution awaited in committee.
Obviously money would not be spent on these massive programs unless there would be
the chance for the actual implementation of such a scheme.
However, in case the American people do not voluntarily adopt a new
constitution less troublesome to those who desire dictatorship, there is Executive
Order #11490. which will include its predecessors when it is cited herein. The
Executive Order authorizes the secretaries of the various agencies to prepare for any
"national emergency" type situation -including, but not limited to, those specified in
the Executive Order itself. If you read the Order, there is nothing at all left to the
imagination. For any conceivable pretense a national emergency may be declared based
2
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 129
upon this frightening decree, dated October 1969. The Order itself was prefaced in
March of '69 by another Executive Order which established the federal regions and
their capitals. All the departments of the government were involved, including the
L.E.A.A. (Law Enforcement Assistance Administration) and H.E.W. (Health, Education
and Welfare). Congressman Larry McDonald has revealed to Congress that various
guerrilla and terrorist groups were being financed by the federal government. If they
(the terrorist groups) actually began insurgent activities, Executive Order #11490
would be activated.
But as mentioned previously, if you will read Executive Order #11490, you
will see that a "national emergency" may he declared for any conceivable pretense
whatsoever. If the Order itself were activated, here is what would happen: The next
day you and your family would be standing in front of your local post office with your
neighbors; the front door bursting with block-long lines of people waiting to be
registered. After waiting in line with your family for hours, you finally get channeled
through the doors. Once inside, you overhear the postal clerk with his sidearm on
telling a frightened restrant, "Look, there is nothing I can do. The truck behind the
building will take you to a work camp where you have been assigned. Your wife has
been assigned to a factory and there's nothing I can do." Then your son or daughter
looks up at you with a quivering voice and asks, "Dad, why are we here?"
Implementing the New Government
Well, you see there's much more to life in a "free country" than paying your
mortgage. You have to be aware of what is going on and act accordingly and
participate in government; that is, get involved. Examining the organization chart on
Executive Order #11490 to discover how we have all helped finance (through our tax
dollars) the mechanics of the overthrow of our Constitution, Executive Order #11490
designates certain authorities to the Office of Emergency Preparedness --which in
turn designates authority to the various departments of the federal government.
If Order were implemented, the Post Office Department would be responsible
for a national registration. The State Department would be responsible for the
protection of the United Nations personnel or properly and prevention of escape from
the United States. The Department of Defense would be responsible for the
expropriation of industry; direction of services and national production system;
control of censorship; and communication expropriation of non-industrial facilities.
The Commerce Department would be responsible for expropriation, selection and
international distribution of commodities (which would be the actual looting of the
United States), census information and human resources.
The Treasury Department would be responsible for collection of cash and non-
cash items and the re-creation of evidence of assets and liabilities. The Justice
Department would have concurrent responsibility with the Department of State for
prevention of escape from the United States: for replenishing the stockpile of
narcotics; for a national police force: for correctional and penal institutions; for mass
feeding and housing of prisoners and for use of prisoners to augment manpower
which would be slave labor.
130 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
The Federal Bank (which is not a FEDERAL bank) would be responsible for
regulation of withdrawal of currency. The G.S.A. (General Services Administration)
would be responsible for confiscation of private property for government use. Health,
Education and Welfare would be responsible for nationalization of education (which the
Department of Education has already done), health services, hospitals and mental
institutions. The Labor Department would be responsible for recruiting manpower;
selecting manpower; referring manpower; and allocating manpower so each particular
person that was registered at the post office in this national registration would be told
where he (or she) was going to work. H.U.D. (Housing and Urban Debvelopment) would
be responsible for transfer of persons to temporary or permanent housing in regional
emergency planning and cooperation. The Transportation Department is responsible for
emergency enforcement and control and movement of passengers and the emergency
operation of the Alaska railroad.
There are two specific agencies here that we need to look at and to keep in
mind. They are: H.E.W. and Justice (Department), as those two agencies are related to
the Department of Defense; The various military departments are part of the
Department of Defense. Under it, we have the Secretary of Army, Chief of Staff,
Deputy Chief of Staff of Personnel and law enforcement, U.S. Army's forces
command, and continental Army Reserve & National Guarkd. And under that we have
the four armies dividing up the United States. Under the Fifth Army we have the
provost marshal, who is directly connected to the Deputy Chief of Staff for law
enforcement personnel. Under the provost marshal for the Fifth Army we have the
300 Military Police Prisoner-of-War (POW) Command at Livonia, Michigan.
At this point I quote from retired Adm. Elmo Zumwalt's book, ON WATCH,
Kissinger states, "I believe the American people lack the will to do the things
necessary to achieve parity and to maintain maritime superiority. I believe we must
get the best deal we can in our negotiations before the United States and the Soviets
both perceive these changes and the balance that occurs. When these perceptions ara
in agreement, and both sides know the U.S. is inferior, we must have gotten the best
deal we can. Americans at that time will not be happy that I have settled for second,
but it will be too late."
Zumwalt said, "Then why not take it to the American people? They will not
accept the decision to become second best while we are in a position of Gross National
Product twice that of the U.S.S.R."
Kissinger responds, "That's a question of judgement. I judge that we will not
get their support, and if we seek it and tell that fact, as we would have to, we would
loose our negotiating leverage with the Soviets."
Zumwalt stated, "But isn't that the ultimate immorality in a democracy; to
make a decision for the people of such importance without consulting them?'
Kissinger stated, "Perhaps, but I doubt that there are 1 million who could even
understand the issue."
Zumwalt responded, "Even if that presumtion is correct, those 1 million can
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 131
influence the opinions of the majority of the people. I believe it is my duty to take the
other course."
Kissinger responded, "You should take care, lest your words result in a
reduction in the Navy budget."
So we see what the intention of the State Department is regarding the People.
Another fact: On December 30, 1975, the California National Guard announced in a
press release (which I have) that the state's Military Police battalions were organized
and trained to provide immediate response to virtually every civil and man-made
disaster, as well as to assist law enforcement officers in emergency situations; to
carry out their law enforcement as well as their military mission. When I asked four
of the defendants in this case for their mission statement they did not provide it although
they say it is public information.
The training spoken of for the California National Guard covers such subjects
as dealing with individual civilians/civil population, detention procedures, citizen's
rights, and similar matters. And you know as well as I do that, when there is Martial
Law, or Martial Rule, citizens have no rights - because the Constitution is pre-empted.
Even the uniforms of the National Guards who participate in this program are different
from the regular uniforms. Army spokesman will not reveal more about the uniforms.
But the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department para-military units, who have received this
training also, have army fatigues dyed black for their uniforms.
A further fact is the disaster preparedness plan for the Marine Corp Supply
Center in Barstow, California. Quoting from that document" "Under the Constitution
and the laws of the United States, the preservation of law and order is the
responsibility of local and state government. And the authority to maintain the peace
and enforce the law is invested in the authorities of those goverments." There are
specific exemptions to the above concept. One of these pertains to federal intervention
to civil disturbances in certain situations. Military commanders are deemed to have
the inherent authority to take any measure reasonably necessary for the protection of
life and property in the event of a sudden unexpected public calamity which dirupts the
normal process of government and presents an emergency so eminent as to make it
dangerous to await instructions from appropriate authorities. This includes Law
Enforcement duties. The manual mentions something called "Garden Plot Forces,"
which we will discuss at length in a few minutes.
Don Bell (who writes a weekly report) reported on July 25, 1975, that in May
of 1975, the 303 Civil Affaires group of the U.S. Army Reserves in Kearny, New
Jersey, conducted an exercise to sharpen plans for a military takeover of the state
government in New Jersey. According to Colonel Frances Clark, they had conducted
similar studies on how to seize municipal and county government over the past few
years. But this was the first time they had studied STATE government. Such units
were trained during World War II to operate captured governments in the foreign. We
never had federal troops trining to take over governments in the United States. When
local violence or catastrophe struck, the National Guard -under command of the
governor - went into action. This is definitely not the situation at this time.............................
Controlling the Masses
132 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
On February 16, 1975, in the SAN GABRIEL VALLEY TRIBUNE, it was reported
that the L.E.A.A. (funded by the Department of Justice) and the Police Foundation
(funded by the Ford Foundation) are prime movers toward implementing a national
police force. Each, however, contends they support local police agencies. The total
program invoices military units that have the function of taking over the admini-
stration of local and state governments. That program is "Operation Cable Splicer" by
Army civil affairs groups, a sub-plan of "Operation Garden Plot" (the Martial Law
program).
The method by which the national police concept is being presented to the public
has changed. It was first disguised under the cover of protection against civil
disturbances. This program was as follows:
A. Keep the people from gathering in the streets.
B. Isolate and neutralize the revolution's leadership.
G Dispersal of crowds and demonstrators.
This is followed by successful prosecution in order to: (1) Validate the action
of police; (2) Denying the arrestees propaganda materials; and (3) Denying them the
opportunity to recover money damages against the police for arresting them.
Let me quote for you the scenario which was developed for Cable Splicer One,
Two and Three, to justify the needs for dealing with civil disturbances: "Phase One:
an arrest and shooting provoke crowd unrest and threats against public officials and a
riot begins to form. Phase Two: police vehicles are ambushed, various attempted
assasinations of public officials occur, destruction and raiding of armories occur, and
thousands of people begin to gather and local police loose control. Phase Three:
increased movement of rioters and the crowds must be dispursed before they become
sympathetic with the rioters. The National Guard and the local police loose control."
This scenario provides for an orderly transition from state to federal control.
The Deputy Attorney General of California commented, at a Cable Splicer Three
conference, that anyone who attacks the State -even verbally -becomes a
revolutionary and an enemy by definition. They are the enemy and must be destroyed.
This program was taught in almost every state west of the Mississippi River and
included as participants local active military, reserve military, and civilian police.
The course name was "Civil Emergency Management Course". The official explanation
that was to be given, if any questions were asked about the program, was: "This
activity is a continuous, joint law enforcement-military liaison effort and a
continuation of coordination established last year."
In 1976, the OAKLAND TRIBUNE carried the most complete explanation of what
is planned. It is reported in it entirety in the NATIONAL CHRONICLE which added an
analysis to the story. (The OAKLAND TRIBUNE'S editor died suddenly after the story
was published.) And, I quote:
Last Saturday the California National Guard unveiled a new Law
Enforcement Assistance Force -L.E.A.F., a specially trained and
Capter Sx H.R. 4079 & FEMA 133
outfitted Military Police unit, whose members will serve as shock
-troups in the state's war against political protesters and
demonstrators.
I saw a full-dress exhibition of what the California National Guard has
planned for the next American revolution. Helicopters, SWAT teams,
civilian military policemen in jack boots and helmets, twelve-guage
shotguns, .38 and .45 caliber pistols, radios, walkie talkies, and
electrically-controlled intelligence centers wired for instant
communications with any police force in the state.
L.E.A.F. is a 1000-member unit put together this year to handle unique
law enforcement problems, such as mass civil disobedience, protest
demonstrations and riots. In other words, breaking heads and taking
names. L.E.A.F. has the support of Governor Brown, a quarter-million
dollard worth of grants from the federal government, and no public
opposition from civil liberties groups.
For all its ineptitude, however, L.E.A.F. has a frightening possibility
from a civil liberty standpoint. It is a direct product of the California
"Cable Splicer" conferences -a series of high-level secret meetings
between government officials, lawy nforcement officers, and military
planners held during the late '60s and early '70s. The meetings were
held as late as 1975, so far as many public records show. These were
the conferences which COUNTER-SPY magazine had identified as
California's "Garden Plot Sub-Plan:.
Gary Davis, Governor Brown's righthand man, says L.E.A.F. is to
assist civil police not to replace them. Gary says, "Civilians could
expect a civilian type law enforcement rather than what is commonly
known as Martial Law." Despite this assurance, L.E.A.F.'s exercises
look disturbingly like the military coup described in the novel, SEVEN
DAYS IN MAY.
L.E.A.F. soldiers with nightsticks sood at intersections, stopping cars
with suspicious occupants, checking I.D. cards and generally intimidating
onlookers with their SWAT style uniforms, their sidearms and helmets.
Perhaps more ominously, several participants in the role-playing
exercises Saturday admitted that, even under simulated pressure,
there has already been a number of incidents where the L.E.A.F. troops
used excessive force to quell disturbances -even though their orders
forbade it." (End of quote.)
Former L.E.A.FA administrator, Charles Rosgovin, is on record as having
stated that local law enforcement has failed and must be replaced by a national police
force. Patrick Murphy, the administrator of the Police Foundation, states, "I have no
fear of a national police force. Our 40,000 police departments are not sacred." Ex
Attorney General, William Saxby, warned that, if we can go on as we are, crime will
invade us and the national police will take over.
134 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
For the policemen who do not cooperate and still want to be policemen, there is
the program of Contemporary Research, Inc. -and organization of psychologists,
sociologists, education specialists and economic experts -who work toward a solution
of many of today's social problems. The same organization develops specialized
computer programming for the new world-wide military command and control
system, as well as computer base systems for law enforcement agencies at all levels
of government.
The L.E.A.A. alone will receive over a billion dollars a year over the next 4
years -even though it has been ineffective against crime. This is because the L.E.A.A.
is not geared to fighting crime; it's geared to developing a system for takeover of the
United States with the assistance of the Department of Defence.
The Planned Police State
One of the programs the L.E.A.A. works on in its fight against crime is psycho-
surgery. If you don't cooperate with their programs, you are merely operated on so
that you be as cooperative as an adding machine. Or, the L.E.A.A. supports drug
research for the same purpose - to neutralize neurological sources of violence. Hence,
as an example, if a law were passed whereby the ownership of firearms was declared
to be illegal, you would be placed in one of these programs if you did not cooperate.
The L.E.A.A. control exercise (at the state's level) is from the Office of Criminal
Justice Planning of the Governor's Office. Here in Texas, Mr. Robert C. Flowers is
still the executive director in that office. But all states have that particular
department.
In May 1975, the L.E.A.A. NEWSLETTER describes the function of one of its
organizations: the National Institute of Law Enforcement & Criminal Justice. This
organization funds something called the "United Nations Clearinghouse" in Rome, Italy.
The function of that organization is, among other things, the exchange of Criminal
Justice System information with the Soviet Union. And it goes without saying that we
have nothing to learn from the Criminal Justice System of the Soviet Unition. These
incredible projects are being funded with our tax dollars.
The code name for these projects are: "Garden Plot" and "Cable Splicer".
Garden Plot is the program to control the population. Cable Splicer is the program for
an orderly takeover of the state and local governments by the federal government.
An investigation was completed in November 1975 by 4 sources: the
Conservative publication AMERICAN CHALLENGE; the leftist NEW TIMES; the
foundation financed FUND FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM; and Don Wood of the
trustworthy OZARK SUNBEAM. It involves the potential creation of a Police State
through the use of the Pentagon and its computerized intelligence dossier (lodged in the
Pentagon basement) of thousands of citiaens by the National Guard, state and local
police departments, the L.E.A.A., plain-clothes military forces, SWAT teams, and the
Department of Justice.

Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 135
Brig. Gen. J.L. Julenic. senior Army officer of the Pentagon National Guard
Bureau, has admitted, "I know of no state that did not have some form of these
exercises within the last year."
Today the Cable Splicer handbook is composed of 6 loose-leaf 3-ring binders
that are merely an outline for the impending takeover and destruction of our
Constitution. The Sixth Army used the term "Cable Splicer" for the name of the
operation, but it has not revealed the name of the operation in the other military areas
within the U.S.
On page 4, paragraph 10, on Public Information, the instructions state: "As a
means to prevent adverse publicity or misleading psychological effects in regard to
coordinating, planning, and conducting this exercise, all military participants involved
will perform such duties in civilian clothing when exercise oriented activities are
conducted at law enforcement facilities. In the event inquiries are received regardingthis exercise, the response should be limited to identifying the activity as a
continuous, joint law enforcement-military liaison effort and a continuation of
coordination established last year." On page 6, security guidance is explained to the
effect that if anybody asks any questions, limit the information that is given out on
the basis of it being in the interest of "national interest" (security).
Now, in the festivities celebrating the success of completion of the exercises,
Gen. Stanly R. Larsen, the commanding general of the Sixth Army stated, "The most
serious challenge facing all of us will be the challenge of discharging our legitimate
responsibilities. For a significant portion of a soiety at large is likely to regard us
with suspicion and to question, even challenge our authority on the basic assumption of
out profession. Part of this challenge we must be prepared to deal with; a potentially
dangerous portion of our society which, in truth, could well become the domestic
enemy.
The manual includes instructions on operation of confinement facilities,
handling and processing prisoners -including searching, transporting,, feeding,
housing and handling of the special class of persons called "detainees". The plan also
specifically includes a proposition for confiscation of privately-owned weapons and
ammunition.
Files on Potential Prisoners
The Army has over 350 separate record centers containing substantial
information on civilian-political activities. Virtually every major Army unit has its
own set aside from this. The Fifth Army of San Antonio has over 100,000 files of its
own. The overall operation command post is a domestic room at the Pentagon. There
are 25 million cards on individuals and 760.000 on organizations held by the Defense
Central Index of investigations alone. And this information includes political,
sociological, economic and psychological profiles. All this type of information on 25million Americans.
Since 1970, local county and state police forces all over the country have
136 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
undertaken crash programs to install various kinds of computerized information
systems. A large portion of this is being paid for by the LE.A.A. Beginning in 1970,
Congress and the Joint Chiefs of Staff ordered the destruction of all these data banks,
but thev were not destroyed. All the outlawed collection is now located at Mt.
Weather. Clark County. West Virginia and similar Pentagon facilities designed as
adjuncts to the president's emergency powers under the Executive Orders.
The cadre of specialized persons to enforce this plan are found in the U.S.
Army Reserves-Military Police POW Command at Livonia, Michigan. Mr. Fennerin, of
the 300th Military Police POW Command, at Livonia, told me, when I called him from
the Federal Information Center at Houston, that the camps in the Command were for
foreign prisonsers-of-war and for "enemies of the United States". I asked him if
enemies of the United States included U.S. citizens. He became angry, wouldn't deny it,
and referred me to a very sinister individual at the Army Reserve facility here at
Houston who I talked to; who explained to me that the prisoners were called
"inventory" and "internees". He would not deny that the camps were for U.S. citizens.
I called the Pentagon, spoke with the defendant there, and then with the
provost marshal for the Fifth Army, and do you know what? Not one of these persons
would deny that the system was for U.S. citizens. The provost marshal for the Fifth
Army -when I mentioned the names of all the camp sites - said, "Well at least you've
got that right."
The names of the detention facilities that I gave him were a list that I had
acquired from the OZARK SUNBEAM. That list of names was the same list of facilities
designated under the old Detention Act of 1950 as "emergency detention centers". But
there is only one problem: That act was supposed to have been repealed in 1971.
After some research, I found out what the problem was. One congressman - when the
hearings were held for the repeal of the Emergency Detention Act -mentioned that
there am 17 other bits of law that provided for the same thing. So it didn't matter
whether they ever repealed the Emergency Detention Act. The public was in fact
tricked by the Congress of the United States!
Here are the designated sites: Tucked away in the Appalachian Mountains of
centeral Pennsylvania is a bustling town of approximately 10,000 people. Fifteen to
twenty years ago it was a sleepy village of 400. Allanwood, Pennsylvania is linked to
New York City by Interstate 80. It takes up approximately 400 acres and Is
surrounded by a 10-foot barb-wire fence. It now holds approximately 300 minimum
security prisoners to keep it in shape. It could hold 12.000 people from one day to the
next.
Thirty miles from Oklahoma City, on U.S.66, is El Reno, Oklahoma with an
approximate population of 12,000. Due west, 6 miles from town, almost in sight of
U.S.66, is a complex of buildings which could pass for a small school. However, the
facility is overshadowed by a guard house which appears to be something like an
airport control tower - except that it's manned by a vigilant, uniformed guard. This a
federal prison camp or detention center. These camps are all located near super
-highways or near railroad tracks or both.
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 137
The federal proson at Florence, Arizona could hold 3,500 prisoners. It is
presently kept in condition by approximately 400 legally convicted prisoners.
Wickenburg, Arizona is famous for its municipal airport, which was once government
owned. It is now occupied by a private party. It is rumored to be capable of being
taken beck by the federal government without notice.
Now there are a couple other of these facilities which are probably existingunder the same arrangements. This particular rumor of instant taking back without
notice has existed for about 9 or 10 years. The only way it can actually be established
is by looking at the local contract for the Wickenburg Municipal Airport itself, and the
parties that have possession of it.
As I mentioned previously, these names were ratified by the provost marshal
of the Fifth Army, who is in charge of the 300th Military Police POW Command. He is
the one who verified them. He said, as I mentioned before, "Well at least you've gotthat right."
Some of the other locations are: Tule Lake, in California - now in private
hands. It can be retaken without notice. Some of the others: we have Mill Point, West
Virginia. I couldn't find a thing on Mill Point, but in that area we have all kinds of
prisons. Among them are: Alderson, West Virginia, a woman's federal reformatory;
Lewisburg, West Virginia, a federal prison; Greenville, South Carolina, in Greenville
County, is now occupied by the State Youthful Offenders Division. Even that is a
mystery to the people of the area.
At Montgomery, Alabama, we have a federal civilian prison camp at Mazwell
Air Force Base. Now does that sound right? There's one at Tuscon, Arizona, DavidMunson Air Base. In Alaska, we have Elmendorf at Eielson Air Force Base.
And that brings us to a facility in Florida called Avon Park, Florida. I sent a
representative to see what was at Avon Park. He found the Avon Park Bombing and
Gunnery Range, which is also listed as the 56th Combat Support Squadron of the U.S.
Air Force; which is also listed as the Avon Park Correctional Institute. No one is
permitted entrance and probably there is no overfly permitted because it is a bombing
and gunnery range. This was one of the places ratified by the provost marshal of the
Fifth Army.
In 1976, as well as on March 20, 1979, I went to the Sheriffs Dept in Houston
to see if our local Sheriffs Dept had been infiltrated by these plans. Well, it appears
so. I was put in contact with a Lt. Kiljan, who is in charge of some secret unit in the
department. I asked him if he had participated in military training or in training with
military personnel here in the Sheriff's Department. He denied it and, when I asked
him if he would testify so under oath he became angry and stated, "You are just anordinary citizen. I don't have to tell you anything." I later descovered that Lt. Kiljan is
the ex-director of the Houston branch office of the U.S. Secret Service. Now where
does his money come from? The area is administered by the Houston-Galveston Area
Council.
In this regional-government plan, each federal region is divided into state
138 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
clearinghouses, and each state clearinghouse is divided into area clearinghouses. And
for our area we have the Houston-Galveston Area Council. It serves as a conduit for
federal funds in two major areas: L.E.A.A. and H.E.W.
Most everbody thinks this organization (the Houston-Galveston Area Council) is
for the development of the area - the geographical area here in Houston. But it is not.
It is for the development of L.E.A.A. and H.E.W. projects. Now this finds its
counterpart in every community across the U.S. It provides for these agencies a
liaison for inter-governmental communications, interaction and coordination
Mental Cooperation in Takeover Plans
I examined their projects to see what they were doing. This regional-
government program distributes federal funds for two major purposes: (1) Radio
hookups between every police agency in the state to For Sam Houston: and (2) Mental
health programs, including programs for the mentally ill having priority of beds and
hospitals.
Another interesting fact to consider is that in the Pine Bluff Arkansas Arsenal
"B-Z" is stored. It's a nerve gas which creates sleepiness, dizziness, stupor, and the
incapacity to move about. According to the Associated Press, the agent can be
sprayed by aerosol, injected or sprayed over large areas by a bomb. The Military has
admitted that one potential use of the gas is for civilian control. So, whatever they
have planned, they've also planned a way for you to go to your destination in a
tranquil state of mind.
H.E.W., by law, is operated in conjunction with the United Nations through the
World Health Organization. Back In 1948, the International Congress on Mental Health
-a U.N. organization -declared in its pamphlet, MENTAL HEALTH AND WORLD
CITIZENSHIP, that "prejudice, hostility or excessive nationalism may become deeply
imbedded in the developing personality without awareness on the part of the individual
concerned. In order to be effective, efforts of changing individuals must be
appropriate to the successive stages of the unfolding personality. While in case of a
group of society, change will be strongly resisted unless an attitude of acceptance has
first been engendered.
"Principles of mental health cannot be successfully furthered in any society
unless there is progressive acceptance of the concept of world citizenship." the
document states. "Programs for social change to be effective require a joint effort of
psychiatrists and social scientists, working together in cooperation with statesmen,
administrators and others in positions of responsibility."
The three phases of the development are: (1) Mental hospitals for segregation,
care and protection of persons of unsound minds; (2) Community Mental Health Care
Centers, so that persons may be treated in their own neighborhoods; and (3) Child
Care Centers for dealing with early difficulties of nationalism in a child's life.
Two years earlier, Maj. Gen. G.B. Chisholm, Deputy Minister of Health In
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 139
Canada -who later became director of United Nations World Health Organization
- explained, "Self defense may involve a neurotic reaction when it means defending
one's own excessive material wealth from others who are in great need. This attitude
leads to war."
So his solution to the problem is: Let's redistribute the wealth among everyone.
Further, the reinterpretation and eventual eradication of the individual's
concept of right and wrong -which has been the basis of child training -are the
belated objectives of practically all effective psychotherapies. Now, if we digress
even further, to Buria (phonetic spelling), the director of the Soviet Secret Police, in
the 1930s, we see that he explained the communist political strategy through the use
of "mental healings" of psychiatry:
"Psycho-politics is the art and science of asserting and of maintaining a
dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals, officers, bureaus, and masses.
and the effecting of the conquest of enemy nations through mental healing. You must
work," he stated, "until every teacher of psychology unknowingly or knowlingly
teaches only communistic doctrine under the guise of psychology."
If you look at the Russian manual of instruction of psycho-political warfare, we
see in chapter 9, "Psycho-political operations should at all times be alert to the
oportunities to organize for the betterment of the community mental health centers."
Now, under the new national Mental Health program at this moment there are
more than 600 of these community mental health centers across the United States.
The whole thing was promoted by Dr. Stanly F. Yolles, who was the director of the
National Institute of Mental Health in 1969. And, he stated back then that the newest
trend treating mental illness is care at local health care centers, where the patient
is not Isolated from his (or her) family and friends. They have been working on this
program for 46 years publicly and, now across the U.S. - through your tax dollars
-you have 603 centers (to be exact); Community Health Centers that are all part of
this program.
And this is how they are part of the program. (It has already happened): In the
mid-1950s, there was set into motion an interesting chain of events. About 1956, the
Alaska Mental Health Bill was proposed and later passed. It granted approximately
$12 million and 1 million acres of public land to Alaska so that it could develop its own
metnal health program. Now, this was a little abnormal since Alaska only had a little
over 400 people who were classified as mentally ill!
After the bill was passed, Alaska passed its own, enabling legislation to get
into the mental health business. They started by adopting the essential elements of the
Public Health Service Draft Act on the hospitalization of the mentally ill in the old
"Interstate Compact on Mental Health" - now called the Uniform Mental Health Act.
There were no provisions for jury trial in it or anything else. You would just be picked
up and taken to the Alaskan-Siberian Asylum - incommunicado - and the state would
also confiscate all of your personal and real propertyl And they actually tried to do it
as 1954 in the case of Ford vs. Milinak, which declared the act as adopted in another
state (the state of Missouri) as unconstitutional.
140 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
But the act itself still exists - and modified - but essentially in the same form,
the Uniform Mental Health Act, to which approximately 6 states subscribe. And, in
passing month State Constitutions -if you will check them from the period of 1935 -
made a part of their constitution the practice of having a person submit to a 90-day
mental examination to determine his (or her) sanity, without any provisions for a
trial by jury. This was part of the national program at that time.
In this act, the governor could have anyone picked up and sent to the Mental
Health Institution in Alaska or elsewhere. The results, as rumors, back in the 1950s,
were that there was in fact a sinister, Frankenstein-type mental health prison in
Alaska. I wrote to Alaska (the officials that is) and asked them for a description of the
land of 1 million acres that they were eligible to receive, under the Alaska Mental
Health Act. And I also asked them for a copy of the inventory they ran for their
facilities back at that same time. Well, so far no answer. And probably I will never
receive an answer without a court order.
But through the years, there was a spot in Alaska that was continually
referred to: Southeast of Fairbanks; Southwest of Fairbanks; northwest of Fairbanks
-somewhere near Fairbanks. Then I received information that a pilot had flown over
the area once and had had his license revoked. And so, for $1.85 each, I ordered the
low-level navigation maps from the federal government for Alaska and located the
Alaska-Siberian Asylum for the treatment of enemies of the United States. It's right
where rumor over the past 20 years had placed it: Southeast of Fairbanks. It stands
out like a sore thumb! It's the only one of that geometric configuration within the state of
Alaska, and you will note a black line running up through Fairbanks and down over near
that area of the map. That is the railroad that the Department of Transportation would
take the emergency operation of, under the Executive Order - if the Excecutive Order
went into effect. And H.E.W. would be responsible for making a dermination of whether
or not you were mentally disturbed because of your nationalistic tendencies, your
love for the United States, or your adherence to any political or religious doctrine.
But let's look a little further into the type of program that the L.E.A.A. Is
paying for through the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Prisons - located
in the back woods of North Carolina, near a tiny village called Butner - is constructing
a mammoth 42-acre research complex for prisoners from throughout the East. Who
will be sent for experiments to test new behaviorial programs and techniques? Target
date for completion of the entire system is ironically 1984.
And so, they're using right now, under the L.E.A.A. program, something called
anectine. Punishment for troublesome behavior within the prison Is being done by
drugs and shock, likely to be the most selected examples of programs that have made
use of anectine - a derivative of South American curari. Anectine was originally used
as a beginning factor to electro-convulsive shock. Such shocks applied to the head are
so strong they can break and graze bones under the strain of resulting muscle
contractions. Since anectine paralyzed the muscles without dampening consciousness
or the ability to feel pain, by first injecting the inmates with it, researchers can turn
up the voltage as high as they want without cracking the inmate's skeleton when his
body is thrown into convulsions by the jolt.
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 141
What the anectine does, in short, is to simulate death within 30 to 40 seconds
of injection. It brings on paralysis first, with the small rapidly moving muscles in the
nose, fingers and eyes, and then in the diaphram and the cardiovascular system. As a
result, the patient cannot move or breath and yet remains fully conscious, as though
drowning and dying. This from the 1974 publication, HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
The People vs. the Conspirators
The federal government answered my suit, in June (1976), by filing an
unsworn general denial of everything that I had alleged. I spoke with the assistant U.S.
Attorney in charge of the case and asked him if he had gone to the trouble to call any
of the parties mentioned in the suits - since I had provided not only the addresses, but
their telephone numbers to provide a faster means of investigation. He said he had not.
He had not even done a minimal amount of investigation of the case, but yet he filed a
denial of my allegations.
I filed a motion, in the mean time, to take the deposition of the person who
writes the training programs for the concentration cam guards, Mr. Richard Burrage the
75th Maneuver Air Command at Army Reserve Center at Houston, Texas - stating
the, in light of all the recent activity of government agents, one of the agencies
involved might attempt to murder this key witness, the author of the training camp
program. The federal judge denied my motion, stating that I had not quoted enough
cases to him justifying my request. However, he was also aware that there were no
cases existing on this set of facts but, as you will see as I go along with this report,
he chose to ignore it.
I then made an agreement with the assistant U.S. Attorney to take the
deposition of Mr. Buirrage. After I'd made the arrangements, the U.S. Attorney
refused to voluntarily go along with taking the deposition. It is very difficult to find
justice in our system of courts. Law is usually practiced by the "buddy system,"
hence the court rules are overlooked or not followed.
On July 29, a hearing was held at the magistrate of Norman Black, U.S.
District Court in Houston. The courtroom was completely filled with spectators. And
although the news media had been contacted, no representatives of the press were
there. There is a new media blackout on this matter here in Houston.
Brief oral arguments were presented. The U.S. Attorney explained that I was
not the proper person to bring the suit because, although the free exercise of my
constitutional rights was threatened by the concentration camp program, as alleged, it
did not constitute my injury. The magistrate was impressed with the information I hadthus far collected and stated that he would bring it to the attention of the federal
judge. The U.S. Attorney tried to have my investigation of the case halted, but the
magistrate would not go along that far with a pre-arranged decision.
As an additional indication of what I was up against, the original hearing was
scheduled for 10:30 in the morning. However, the U.S. Attorney secretly had the time
142 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
changed to 2:30 in the afternoon. The magistrate gave the U.S. Attorney permission to
file for motion to dismiss because he felt that the concentration camp program - to be
used for persons who exercise their freedom of speech - did not present any injury.
Now, on July 23, I had placed in the HOUSTON POST and in the HOUSTON
CHRONICLE newspapers the following advertisement in the legal section: "Solicitation
for witnesses in Civil Action 78-H-667, Federal District Court of Houston, People ExRel. William Pabst vs. Gerald Ford et al. The action titled: Complaint Against the
Concentration Camp Program of the Department of Defense. Attention: If you have
participated in Operation Garden Plot, Operation Cable Splicer, the 300th Military
Police Prisoner of War Command, or the Army Reserve Civil Affairs group, you may
be involved in a program that needs to be disclosed for this suit. To give your
testimony call or write, (and here I placed my name, address and telephone number)."
As I previously mentioned, there is a news media blackout on the story here inHouston. Both newspapers refused to carry the ad. First, at the HOUSTON POST, I had
to threaten them with a law suit to carry out the ad, even though I was paying for it.
And then at the HOUSTON CHRONICLE, I had to meet with the president and various
vice presidents because a refusal from that paper had come up from their own
lawyers. Both nespapers finally carried it, but only after two days of complaining.
The initial response of both papers was, "We don't carry stories like that" and "Don'tyou think that the people planning the concentration camps have our best interests in
mind?" As you will hear for yourselves, the policies definitely do not reflect our best
interests.
The next event that occurred was that the U.S. Attorney filed a "Statement ot
Authority," showing the reasons that he could find why I should not be allowed to take
depositions to get more information from the person who was writing the
concentration camp guard training program. However, his brief was completely filled
with misquotes of the law from many cases. He would mention the case and then
invent whatever the case should say. In my brief to the court, at this point, I notified
the judge of the violation of the law requiring honesty in such matters. But the
notification was ignored by the judge, who apparently sanctioned this most dishonest
of acts commonly known as "quoting out of context".
The Geneva Convention
My brief was filed in August 31, formal arguments were set. The new
courtroom of the magistrate was almost filled again. However, no one from the news
media showed up for this hearing either. The few who were contacted had been told
not to go; they would loose their jobs.
At the hearing, I introduced evidence that heretofore had never been introduced
in any court of law in the U.S. The U.S. Attorney had denied, you will remember,
everything in my suit without so much as even a tiny investigation. So I introduced
into evidence the following letter from the Department of the Army, Office of the
Deputy Chief of Staff of Personnel, signed by one B. Sergeant, Col. G.S., Acting
Director of Human Resources Development.
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 143
The letter states, "On behalf of President Ford, I am replying to your letter 27
May, 1976, regarding a new article in the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. As much as he
would like to, the president cannot reply personally to every communication he
receives. Therefore, he has asked the departments and agencies of the federal
government in thos instances where they have special knowledge or special authority
underlogued.
"For this reason your communication was forwarded to officials of the
Department of Defense. Within the Department of Defense, the Army is responsible for
custody and treatment of enemy prisoners of war and civilian internees as defined
under terms of the Geneva Convention of 1949. Therefore, the Army is prepared to
detain prisoners of war and aetainees as defined in Article IV of the 1949 Geneva
Convention relative to the treatment of prisoners of war and protection of civilian
persons.
"It is U.S. policy that its Armed Forces adhere to the provisions of
international law to set the example for other countries of the world to follow and
respecting the rights and dignity of those who become victim of international conflict.
It should be noted that the Army program is designed for implementation during
conditions of war between the U.S. and one or more foriegn countries. The Army had
no plans nor does it maintain detention camps to imprison American citizens during
domestic crises."
The problem with this letter is that it's not true, and that's why I'm going to
discuss it at this point. First of all, in verifying the authenticity of the claims in the
letter, l checked the Geneva text. There is no article in the Geneva Convention entitled
as the letter states. There is, however, on each one of the classifications: "Protection
of War Victims/Civilian Persons" and a separate article on "Prisoners of War". That
was the first discrepancy.
Then I turned to Article IV of the Geneva Convention. That article did not set up
any requirements or authorizations for military units of any type and does not even
suggest it. Hence, the second discrepancy.
The next problem with the letter from President Ford's representative is that
it states that the prisoner of war guard program is set up for the implementation for
"conditions of war between the U.S. and one or more (foreign) countries." However,
Article III of the Geneva Convention reads that the treaty applies to (and I am quoting)
"in case of an armed conflict, not of an international character, occurring within the
territory of one of the high contracting parties." Obviously an armed conflict
occurring within one's own territory did not mean between one or more of the parties
to the treaty, especially if only one is involvedkkkk. Now, the examples of this type of
conflict are: civil war, armed insurgency and guerilla activities. In other words,
they're speaking of a domestic conflict.
An even more shocking item is found in the last pages of the 1949 Geneva
Convention under "Protection of War Victims/Civilian Persons". You will find the
index card, the identification card, forms to be used to writing your family, and
i/
144 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
everything necessary for the administration of a concentration camp is contained in
this treaty that the U.S. signed and ratified. Further, if there is a conflict in the U.S.
involving only the U.S. this convention or treaty can go into operation -which includes
the procedures for setting up the concentration camps.
Article LXVIII of the Convention states (and I paraphrase): If you commit an
offense that is soley intended to harm the occupying power, not harming the life or
limb of members of the occupying power, but merely talking against such a force such
as Martial Law situation _ you can be imprisoned provided that the duration of
such imprisonment is proportionate to the offense committed. Well, President Dwight
Eisenhower didn't feel that provision was strong enough. So he had the following
additions placed in the treaty which states: "The U.S. reserves the right to impose the
death penalty in accordance with the provisions of Article LXVIII without regard to
whether the offenses referred to therein are punishable by death under the law of the
occupied territory at the time the occupation begins.."
So not only can you be imprisoned for having exercised freedom of speech; you
can be put to death under the provisions of the Geneva Convention in 1949 for having
exercised, or attempting to exercise freedom of speech.
The next item that I introduced into evidence was a field manual: FM 41-10,
CIVIL AFFAIRS OPERATION. You will remember at the outset that I mentioned Civil
Affairs groups. Let me quote to you from that manual what one of the functions of the
Civil Affairs activities includes: "Item 4. Assumption of full or partial executive,
legislative and judicial authority over a country or area". So let's see what a
"country or area" is defined as in the same manual. It includes: "small towns in rural
areas, municipalities of various population sizes, districts, counties, provinces or
states, regions of national government".
Nowhere in the manual does it exclude this program from being put into effect
right here in the United States. As a matter of fact, in Kearny, New Jersey, the Civil
Affairs group went into that area and practiced taking over that government unit. And
yet the Army - in its letter of June 16 -states that these programs are not for us.
Yet they are practiced here in the United States under conditions that can only occur
here at home.
The study outline of field manual, FM 41-10, on page j-24, under "Penal
Institutions 1-B," you see there is a program on concentration camps and labor camps
- number, location and capacity. It is important to note that a concentration camp and
labor camp are always located near eather other for obvious reasons.
Again on page d-4 of the same manual, you'll find a sample receipt for seized
property; a sample receipt written English and containing terminology applicable to
only U.S. territory.
On page 8-2 of the same manual, under the heading "Tables of Organization and
Equipment," we find that there are 3 other organizations that would be working along
with the Civil Affairs operation: the Chemical Service Organization, the Composite
Service Organization, and the Psychological Operations Organization, along with lh»
various Civil Affairs organizations.
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 145
In July of that year (1976), the following Civil Affairs groups met with the
following airborne groups at a staging area in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. A staging areais where military units meet before they go into action. They met with the 32nd
Airborne and part of the 101st Airborne; the 321st Civil Affairs group of San
Antonio, Texas headquarters; the 362nd Civil Affairs brigade from Dallas, Texas; the
431st Civil Affairs company from Little Rock, Arkansas headquarters; the 306th
Civil Affairs group, and William Highlin. The 486th Civil Affairs company from Tilsa,
Oklahoma; the 418th Civil Affairs company from Kansas City, Missouri; the 307th
Civil Affairs group from St. Louis, Missouri; the 490th Civil Affairs group from
Abilene, Texas; the 413th company from Hammon, Louisiana; the 12th S.S. group, 2nd
Battalion (headquarters unknown).
They're ready to go into action. The problem is, as it appears, they were ready
to lake over the entire government of the United States as their mission set out. One
man who attended this staging area talked to a Civil Affairs Sgt. and asked him what
his job was. The Sgt. explained that the civilians of this country will reaiiy besurprised some day when the Civil Affairs groups begin to operate the government.
Now, the Department of the Army still maintains that all this is not for theUnited States -yet this training continues here for us. The evidence is overwhelming;
the plan exists for the imprisonment of millions of U.S. citizens. And even though allthis information was presented to the federal magistrate, he still felt that no one was
injured by such a plot.
On the 2nd day of September, 1976, the magistrate recommended to the
federal judge that the case be dismissed. And the sole basis for his reasoning to
dismiss was that we have to be actually physically injured before we can maintain a
law suit of this type. He did not feel that, although all this active planning, preparation
and training was going on, that any U.S. citizen had been injured - even though thecitizen may fear exercising his (or her) freedom for fear of being detained and
imprisoned in a concentration camp at a later date.
Ignoring the Constitution
The case of Tatum vs. Laird, heard before the Supreme Court in 1974, is a
case in point. It involved the Army intelligence collecting aparatus, which was
developing a list of names of persons whom the Army felt were troublesome. The
Supreme Court held that the making of lists of this type did not, of and by itself,
present any injuries. The minority opinion in that case was that the injury, in the case
with aprogram such as this made people afraid to use their freedom of speech for
fear of being sent to jail for it. But majority did not buy that argument.
The difference between that case and this case - although we also have the
computer program - is that we have something much further past that point; the
concentration camp guard program and the Civil Affairs program for the taking over
of all functions of our government. In light of that, the federal judge said that this is
146 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
not an injury. As a matter of fact, the U.S. Attorney alleged that even if people were
placed in concentration camps, if they were all treated the same thay would still not
have the right to go to federal court.
On the 20th day of September, I filed a memorandum to notify the magistrate
and the federal judge that I had discovered that the federal government had a program
for number of years to suspend our constitutional right of the writ of habeas corpus.
This information substantiated the complaint. Habeas corpus is the name of that legal
instrument utilized to bring someone before a judge when that person is being illegally
imprisoned or detained so that he (or she) may obtain his (or her) freedom. The
Constitution slates that the writ of habeas corpus shall never be suspended.
I found the disturbing information in a report: 94-755, 94th Congress, 2nd
Session Senate, April 26, 1976, entitled "Intelligence Activities and the Rights of
Americans Book II." On page 17-d, entitled "First Amendment Rights," the report
states that more importantly "the government surveillance activities in the
aggregate, whether expressly intended to do so, to deter the exercise of First
Amendment rights by American citizens who become aware of the government's
domestic intelligence program."
Beginning on page 54, it is stated that, beginning in 1946 - 4 years before the
Emergency Detention Act of 1950 was passed - the FBI advised the Attorney General
that it had secretly compiled a secret index of potentially dangerous persons. The
Justice Department then made tentative plans for emergency detention based on
suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. Department officials
deliberately avoided going to Congress. When the Emergency Detention Act of 1950
was passed, it did not authorize the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. But
shortly after passage of that act, according to a bureau document, Attorney General
J.H. McGraf told the FBI to disregard it and to proceed with the program as previously
outlined.
A few sentences later, on page 55, it states, "With the security index, use
broader standards to determine potential dangerousness than those described in the
statute." And, unlike the act, Department plans provided for issuing a master search
warrant and a master arrest warrant. This is the center importance; it is the same
thing that I am alleging in federal court. And yet the magistrate chose to ignore these
facts also.
We have government officials not only ignoring the will of Congress, but going
the opposite of what the Constitution provides by planning illegally for the suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus. In addition, as mentioned before, the master search
warrant and the master arrest warrant are forms fed into the computer, which print
the names and addressses on them from the tapes previously prepared bv the
intelligence-gathering program.
As you are arrested, your home will be searched and anything found there may be
confiscated. This program has existed since 1946, up to and including 1973, and
without proper access to judicial discovery techniques, it can't be determined
dwhether the same plan now exists under the same name or under another name right
20
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 147
now.
This memorandum was filed on September 28 to make the court aware of the
danger that our rights of freedom of speech and lawful assembly are in. But the cour,
on September 30 - after this notification was received - dismissed the case.
However, in keeping with the practice of federal courts in Houston of actively
participating in the obstruction of justice, I was not notified of the dismissal until the
6th of October - which gave me just 2 working days to submit any further motion in a
10-day period before time starts running for the appeal.
What I have just said regarding the federal courts in Houston is not only myopinion; the HOUSTON CHRONICAL, surprisingly, published an extensive document
severely criticizing the federal courts in Houston for making up their own rules as
they go along with the proceedings, as well as commenting on the communist-like
Supreme Court attitude of the judges and the court personnel. My experience here has
been that the court has returned to me almost every document that I have filed. Thenafter a gib argument, they reaccept the document, stating that they just made a
mistake. In reality, the power structure doesn't want these types of cases in any
federal court.
Summary of Evidence
On the 8th of October, I had submitted a request for finding the facts in the
filling which had been established by the evidence presented:
1. The 300th Military Police POW Command is located at Livonia, Michigan.
2. The Department of the Army has stated that said Command exists per se the
Geneva Convention of 1949, a treaty of the U.S., Article IV thereof under the title
relative to the treatment of prisoners of war and protection of civilian persons.
3. However, no such title exists in the Geneva Convention per se.
4. Nevertheless, there are separate titles, one of which is: (a) Multilateral
Protection of War Victims/Prisoners of War; (b) Multilateral Protection of War
Victims/Civilian Persons.
5. Nevertheless, Article IV of both titles does not provide for the creation of any
military programs for concentration camps.
6. Whether Mr. Fennerin, of the 300th Military Police POW Command, has stated
that the purpose of the Command is for the detention of foreign prisoners of war and
enemies the United States.
7. Further, Article III, concerning civilian persons, makes the treaty applicable to
conflicts occurring soley within the territory of the United States that are not of an
international character, which is capable of including any type of conflict in its
description whether it be civil war or guerilla activity or anything else. The text
148 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
states: "In case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the
territory of one of the high contracting parties, each party to a conflict shall be bound
to apply to the minimum of the following provisions."
8. Department of the Army Field Manual FM 41-10, Civil Affairs Operations of
Civil Affairs Organization lists, as one of its functions, the assumption of full or
partial executive, legislative and judicial authority over a country or an area and
there is no specific exclusion of the United States as such a country or area.
9. Said manual defines country along certain geographical population basis,
county, state regions and national government.
10. Said organization has, in fact, conducted practed takeovers of local and state
governments in the continental United States, including, but not limited to the state of
New Jersey.
11. Said organization includes in its study outline, on page j-24, a section on
concentration camps and labor camps.
12. Said organization includes in its operations composite service operations and
psychological operations organizations.
13. Said psychological operation, working with the U.S. Public Health Service, is
prepared to operate any and/or all mental health facilities in the Unites States as
tools of repression against outspoken but nonviolent political conduct of the United
States citizens in conjunction with all the above, which is to be used for the same
purpose.
14. Further, the Department of Justice, in conjunction with this program, has had
plans for the suspension of writ of habeas corpus since the year of 1946; said plan
depriving persons being detained under this total program any means for protection
against tyrannical political repression.
The plaintiff requested that the court make findings of fact and draw
conclusions of law, consistent therewith, as shown by the evidence on record before
the court. The effect of this request is that the case must go back to the district judge
for further consideration. I mentioned that is appeared that all this planning for
concentration camps was to be directed against anyone, regardless of his polictical
persuasion of ideology, who exercised freedom of speech against the established
power structure of international bankers and multinational corporations. But, with
Proposition 13-type movements threatening to reduce taxes throughout our nation. I
foresee an activation of emergency programs so that the parasites on the federal take
will continue to receive their checks.
Price of Patriotism
In the same Senate document, on intelligence activities on the rights of
Americans referred to on pages 166 and 167, you will find that the federal
22
Chapter Six H.R. 4079 & FEMA 149
government has targeted its intelligence activities against one group of Americans. Onpage 166, the first classification listed is rightists and anti-communist groups. And
the first group on page 167 on Army surveillance lists the John Birch Society as a
number 1 and the Young Americans for Freedom as the number 2 target. Therefore, the
groups of U.S. American citizens considered to be the biggest enemy of the United
States, by the federal government, at this time, is the conservative patriot, and those
who assert the Constitution and individual rights.
Although this information has been available since April of this year (1979), no
one has mentioned this incredible discovery that the federal government considers the
patriotic conservative as its greatest enemy. I have received all kinds of information
regarding this case from all across the United States.
Price of Apathy
I obtained the 1945 report of the O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Service) - the
precursor of the C.I.A. - 7th Army, William W. Quin, Col. G.F.C.A.C. of the G2, on theliberation of Dachau, a concentration camp during the liberation in Germany. It
contains much groups of information, but the relevant portion of the report concerns
itself with the section on the townspeople. Quoting from this report, on why the people
of this little town didn't complain or didn't overthrow oppressors but just continued to
go along and get along even though they lost their freedom in the process, it states:
These words crop up and up again. They are the rationalization of a man
who admits that he was a member of the Nazi party. 'I was forced to do
so by business reasons,' they state. We were lied to in every respect
but they admit they knew the camp existed. But they saw the work
detail to the inmates passing through the streets under guard and, in
some instances, the S.S. behaved brutally even towards the
townspeople.
When asked if they realized that within the last 3 months before the
liberation 13,000 men lost their lives within stone's throw of where
the people lived, they claimed they were shocked and surprised.
When asked if they never saw transports of dead and dying pass through
the streets along the railway, they referred only to the last one. They
Insist that most of the trains came in at night and that they were sealed
cars.
Did they never ask what was in the endless procession of cars that
came in full and always went out empty? A typical reply was, 'We were
told it was all army material and booty from France.'
It is established that anyone who stated that he saw only one train come
In in the daytime was telling a flat lie. There are quite a few such people
In Dachau.
150 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
The analysis of the anti-Nazi element of the town: (1) The people knew what
was going on in the camp, even ten years prior to liberation; (2) The town did a
thriving business from the concentration camp guard; (3) Ninety percent are guilty
and have dabbed themselves with the blood of innocent human beings; (4) The people
are to blame for their cowardice - they were all too cowardly. They didn't want to
risk anything. And that was the way it was in all of Germany.
So you can see how the whole program is related here. My lawsuit was against
one single aspect of the total program: The enforcement arm of the conspiracy - the
people who make up the cadre that is going to occupy the concentration camps where
enemies of the United States will be placed. Remember Solzhenitsyn's words in the
GULAG ARCHIPELAGO: "Resistance should have began right there but it did not begin.
You aren't gagged, you really can and you really ought to cry out that arrests arebeing made on the strength of false accusations. If many such outcries had been heard
all over the city would arrests have no longer have been so easy."
They, the tyrants, can't work in the public eye. Those people who were so
apathetic, hoping that nothing was really wrong, that nothing would happen to their
persons and property, sat back and watched. The anarchists, financed by multinational
interests, looted and pillaged their country.
If you think that all (that) is necessary is to pay your house notes, to pay yourTV notes, to go vote when there is an election, and to stand back during the rest of tht
year and watch as your country and way of life are replaced by a system in which you
will be a slave in a concentration camp, you - not the conspirators - are guilty
because you, by silent acquiescence, invite tyranny and oppression.
And, when you have to steal food to eat because our production is for foreign
use because the Department of Commerce - through Executive Order 11490 and its
predecessors - is responsible for international distribution of our commodities, don't
sit in a culvert hiding and eating and sondering what happened because you made it all
possible.
When your family is split up and spread across the United States to do slave
labor and you never see yourloved ones again, it will be your fault because you didnothing to prevent it. And, once we loose our freedom, we are never going to regain it.
That is why we must stand together to prevent the loss of our freedom as citizens of
the United States.
Thank you very much.
(Conclusion of taped report.)
CHAPTER 7
ANTI-DRUG ABUSE
ACT of 1988
H.R. 5210
P.L. 100-690
PREPARATION FOR THE POLICE STATE
AN
ANALYSIS
152 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
H.R. 5210 / P.L. 100-690
Public Law 100-690, which was introduced to the 100th Congress as
H.R. 5210, passed by Congress in September 1988 and signed by the Presi-
dent on November 18,1988, is the most serious attack upon the freedoms
guaranteed the citizens of the Republic of the United States of America in
our Constitution since the formation of the Federal Reserve and the IRS.
The act may be cited as the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. The follow-
ing titles are contained within the act.
Title I Coordination of National Drug Policy
Title II Treatment and Prevention Programs
Title III Drug Education Programs
Title IV International Narcotics Control
Title V User Accountability
Title VI Anti-Drug Abuse Amendments Act of 1988
Title VII Death Penalty and Other Criminal and Law
Enforcement Matters
Title VIII Federal Alcohol Administration
Title IX Miscellaneous
Title X Supplemental Appropriations
The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 can be found in most college or city
libraries contained in the U.S. Code Congressional and Administrative News,
Vol. 3,1988, with amendment and voting information in the Congressional
Quarterly Almanac, Vol. XLIV, 1988.
The law looks innocent enough upon first glance, containing new
drug-awareness and treatment programs, more law enforcement and
much stricter penalties and all to be financed with a 2.1-BILLION-dollar
budget. Upon close examination, however, I discovered some really scary
stuff tucked in where most citizens would never look.
The act is some 366 pages of fine (very fine) print on very small pages.
It is tedious reading, as is all legislation. In fact, it was impossible to read
until Nancy Batchelder, a volunteer on my research staff, enlarged each
page on a copy machine. Could it be that the Congress does not want the
citizens to read the contents of their legislation? I believe that is exactly the
case.
One of the most frightening aspects of this legislation was the proposal
to allow evidence found in a warrantless search. Congress said
"illegally obtained evidence is legal to use in drug cases." Months later the
Senate said no and that portion of the legislation was removed or at least
Chapter Seven Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 153
that is what we were meant to think.
The act leaves a loophole for court decisions on some mass searches/
drug tests, such as school lockers, requirement for certain jobs, and an
experimental program for those getting their first driver's license. (Sec.
9005) Key words here are "mass searches/drug tests," "jobs," and "drivers
license." The courts have held that if the citizens give up any right by
giving what is called implied consent, then they no longer have claim to
that right. The dangerous implication here is that "mass search" could
mean the search of every person in, say, Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York
City. Get the picture?
The proposed legislation contained a section that if passed would
have taken away our right to trial by jury, and specifically stated that you
could be held guilty without trial. How could any citizen or Representative
or Senator even have had the guts to propose such a thing for passage
into law in this country? Fortunately, it was removed by amendment,
HOWEVER IN SOME CASES A TRIAL ISN'T AUTOMATIC; YOU MUST
REQUEST A HEARING. (Sec. 6480) Do I have your attention yet?
$10,000 is the maximum fine for knowingly possessing any amount of
a drug of any kind (even the kind that an enemy might plant in your car or
home) (Sec. 6480).
Congress has asked for a study on the relationship between mental
illness and substance abuse (Sec. 2071).
Congress has recommended changes for involuntary commitment for
mental illness which echoes the Russian NKGB model (Sec. 2072a). The
secret power structure considers PATRIOTISM and NATIONALISM to be
mental illness.
Congress has asked for an evaluation of the appropriateness of ad-
ministering health-service programs in conjunction with biomedical and
behavioral research. IN OTHER WORDS, MIND CONTROL ON A
GRAND SCALE (Sec. 2073a).
The Congress ordered in this act that "the Attorney General shall
study the feasibility of prosecuting Federal drug-related offenses in a matter
alernative or supplemental to the current criminal justice system."
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A POLICE STATE (Sec. 6293).
The act states that anyone with intent to obstruct or harass the harvesting
of timber on public lands can get 1 year in jail or up to 10 years if the
resultant damage exceeds $10,000. Tree spiking is specifically named.
WHAT IS DOING IN A DRUG LAW? It's in there because Congress
wanted to make an end run around environmental groups and give the
timber away (Sec. 6254/1864).
Herbicides are to be used for aerial coca eradication with no considera
154 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
tion of what it might do to the humans or animals being sprayed. After a
year of spraying the President shall determine if such use is harmful to
environment or health and shalL.iile a report (Sec. 4202).
The act mandates the establishment of a ''World Currency Control"
system. This would be an international data base to analyze currency
transactions filed by member countries in order to monitor large ($10,000
or more) dollar transfers. To encourage "teamwork": Prohibit noncoopera-
tive foreign countries from participating in any U.S. dollar clearing or
wire-transfer system, or from maintaining any financial accounts in the
U.S. (Sec. 4701).
The act gives the Secretary of the Treasury power to require ANY
transaction records from ANY domestic financial institution (even those
not part of the bank/savings & loan system), as well as information on ALL
of the persons involved. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS
MEANS TO YOU PERSONALLY. This IS a police state (Sec. 6184/5326).
ALERT...ALERT
The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, paragraph 2,
states:
"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended,
unless when in Cases of rebellion or invasion, the Public Safety may
require it."
Public Law 100-690, Sec. 7323, provides for a Special Committee on
Habeas Corpus Review of Capital Sentences, appointed by the Chief justice
of the United States. The purpose of the Special Committee is to
recommend to the Chief Justice of the United States, who will forward the
recommendation to the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary of the
Senate, a proposal of a bill to modify Federal habeas corpus procedure.
Quotes from P.L. 100-690:
"This bill to modify habeas corpus procedure must be reported with
or without recommendation by the Committee on the Judiciary of the
Senate by the end of the 60th day of session after the submission of the
report or the bill must be automatically placed on the appropriate calendar
of the Senate.
"Once the habeas corpus bill is on the calendar, it is not debatable; it is
not subject to a motion to postpone; reconsideration of the vote by which
the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order under this act.
Only one motion in the Senate shall be in order pursuant to this paragraph
and such motion shall be decided by a roll call vote."
Chapter Seven Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 155
SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE!
Section 7323 states that this habeas corpus legislation is enacted by
Congress "as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and as such
it is deemed a part of the rules of the Senate..."
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS TREASON?
Chapter 33 of Title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding at
the end thereof Sec. 540, which states that the Attorney General and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation may investigate felonious killings of offi-
cials and employees of a State or political subdivision when such investiga-
tion is requested by the head of the agency employing the official or
employee killed, and under such guidelines as the Attorney General or his
designee may establish.
Notice that the above paragraph does not say by invitation of the
State, but says by the employing agency. Once the Feds are involved they
always hold jurisdiction. THIS IS SERIOUS! It could establish the legal
precedence for justification of a police state once the courts rule that the
States have given up their right to jurisdiction under this act. Notice that it
only involves crimes of a POLITICAL nature.
Businesses are required to report all cash transactions of $10,000 or
more (Sec. 7601 /60501-IRS). (It has been reported to me but not verified by
me that this requirement has been lowered to $3000.) THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH DRUGS BUT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE
IRS.
The act establishes a requirement to record and verify the I.D. of a
purchaser of a money order or other financial instrument of $3000 or more
(Sec. 6184/5325). WHY?
This is a big one. The act orders a study to be made on whether to
withdraw $100 bills and $50 bills from circulation (Sec. 6187). THIS
WOULD VIRTUALLY PROPEL US INTO A CASHLESS SOCIETY.
$23 MILLION DOLLARS HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR A
MACHINE-READABLE IDENTITY DOCUMENT PROGRAM. The excuse
used is to be able to identify known criminals who attempt to cross
borders. The type of border is not named (required in legislation) and
could be the border of your city, county or state. It also raises the question
of how they are going to get the criminals to accept the identity document
program without REQUIRING ALL CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE (Sec.
6604.)
This data pool will be shared by:
Drug Enforcement Administration
156 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms
Federal Aviation Commission
U.S. Marshals Service
U.S. Coast Guard
The act requires a study of the feasibility of requiring aircraft to carry
operating transponders so that they can be tracked (Sec. 7212) including
the "INTERCEPT" (the use of military aircraft is assumed due to the fact
that the military is the only agency which has such a capability) of any
aircraft not in a proper flight corridor (Sec. 7213). The act requires a study
to be made on requiring onboard monitoring devices on commercial motor
vehicles to record speed, driving time and other information (Sec. 9101). It
further requires the utilization of existing government laboratory facilities
(Departments of Defense, Justice, Energy, National Security Agency, CIA,
FBI) to develop technologies for Federal law enforcement (not limited to)
drug enforcement) (Sections 6163 and 7605).
This would include:
Night Vision (Ft. Belvoir, Virginia);
Ground Sensor & Communications Electronics (Ft. Mom
Jersey);
Physical Electronic Security (Hanscom Field, Massachusetts);
Imaging Electronic Surveillance (CIA & NSA, Washington, D.C.);
Chemical/Biosensor Research & Development (Aberdeen, Maryland);
Chemical /Molecular Research (Albuquerque, New Mexico);
Physical/Electronic Surveillance & Tracking (FBI, Washington, D.C.)
Explosives Ordnance Detection (Indian Head, Maryland).
The act calls for the expenditure of $120 million for the Bureau of
Justice Statistics, a national clearinghouse of data from federal, state, and
local criminal justice agencies (Sec. 6092).
Grant money will be made available for state and local agencies to
hook into the data system (Sec. 6101 /1301). Gun sellers will have to check
for a buyer's police record (Sec 6213).
The act includes a special note from the Attorney General to IN-
CLUDE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE information in the system (Sec. 7609).
My sources have informed me that the New World Order plans to
execute any person who has exhibited any degree of violence during their
life. A fist fight while in the service would qualify you. They believe that
Chapter Seven Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 157
violence is hereditary and this could mean execution of family members as
well.
This act calls for a study of the feasibility of establishing an INTERNATIONAL
CRIMINAL COURT (World Court) (Sec. 4108).
An international criminal court would have no jurisdiction or authority
over any citizen of the United States of America unless we surrender
our sovereignty to the New World Order.
No weapons are to be allowed in Federal buildings: up to 1 year
imprisonment for carrying a weapon into any FEDERAL FACILITY. The
only exception is a pocket knife, but only if the blade is LESS than 2-1/2
inches long (Sec. 6215).
The act has authorized postal authorities to serve warrants, subpoe-
nas, make arrests, carry firearms, and make seizures in matters involving
use of mails (Sec. 6251).
The Post Office Department is a private corporation and is not a part
of the Federal government. How can they be allowed to function as Fede-
ral police if they are not federalized? Are post office employees destined to
become a part of the national police force?
It is now illegal to mail or send locksmithing equipment to anyone but
a locksmith (Sec. 3002). MANY COMMON TOOLS CAN BE CLASSIFIED
AS LOCKSMITHING EQUIPMENT.
The act legalizes the arming of aircraft in other countries for defensive
purposes, in drug control (Sec. 4202).
SAY AGAIN? If this had been in existence a few years ago, the IRANCONTRA
AFFAIR WOULD HAVE BEEN LEGAL with only a statement
that the arms were for defensive purposes in drug control.
The act mandates that military installations are to be used as MENTAL

In addition, $200 million dollars will go for new prisons (Sec. 6157).
Plus, proceeds from seized and forfeited property are to be used for
construction of prisons, rewards for information or help, or for OTHER

In other words, it means imprisonment Soviet style presented in what
sounds like a nice idea. A LABOR CAMP WHERE MEN AND WOMEN
ARE WORKED TO DEATH IS ONLY THAT AND NOTHING MORE OR
LESS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY CALL IT OR HOW ATTRACTIVE

Prisons going into business to produce products on an economic basis
can only serve to DESTROY THE LAST REMNANTS OF SMALL BUSINESS.
This law is 366 pages of very small print I am sure that as carefully as I read
it, I still must have missed many other terrible clauses. Congressmen have
been known to deny knowledge of this law and some have stated that it does
not exist because they are terrified of the public finding out what they have
done. When I first warned the nation about this legislation on talk radioacross the country, the Government pulled all copies not already in publichands. The Government states that there are no copies available and there
will not be any copies available. THIS ACT IS TOO LARGE TO INCLUDE INTHIS BOOK. You will find it in your library, though, exactly as I have statedat the beginning of this chapter. Please look it up yourself to verify that it it
indeed real.

The Police State's Test Case
Gary North recently wrote about one of the scariest pieces of socialisticpolice-state legislation to arrive on the scene to date.
"On January 1, 1991, a new, 96-page state law goes into effect: H.B.
1750, passed last year [1989]." It requires all Oklahoma residents to declare
everything they own to the tax collector, everything: guns, coins, art collec-
tions, furniture, business equipment, bank accounts, household furniture,
etc. Forms will be distributed through banks. Any taxpayer who refuses to
fill out the form and submit it to the tax assessor by March 15 the ides of
March will be visited by an assessor. He will ask permission to enter the
home or place of business. If this request is denied, he will be issued a
search warrant. Any property not previously listed, or undervalued, will
be assessed a penalty of up to 20% of its market value. This will make
renters into property taxpayers and make life easy for the gun grabbers.
What are the investment implications of this? Invest in a good gun
and be standing on your porch with gun in hand when they pay you a visit.
It is clear where the tax collectors are headed next. Oklahoma will be a
test case. If they can pull this one off, the other states will follow. Big
Brother wants to know all and to tax all. Eventually the New World Order
will eliminate all private property, "redistribute the wealth," and this in-
ventory will tell them how much exists and exactly where it is stored. Of
course, the Oklahoma tax assessor will share its information with other
federal and state agencies.
Will they get away with this blatant disregard for civil and constitu-
tional rights? That is exactly the reason for the law, to find out if it will meet
with strong or violent opposition. If the citizens of Oklahoma lie down and
allow this to happen, then you can bet everyone else in the nation is going
to be subjected to the same or a similar law.
It is time to stand up with a weapon and scream, "ENOUGH!" It is
time to draw the line. It is time to make decisions and carry them out. It is
time to resist at any and all cost. The penalty for failing to do so is slavery.
IT IS NOT TIME FOR REBELLION. IT IS TIME FOR RESTORATION.
THE CONSTITUTION MUST BE AGAIN, AS IT ONCE WAS, THE
SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. FEDERALISM IS TREASON. STAND

THE REASONS FOR COOPERATION BETWEEN
OPPOSING FORCES
I give lectures all over the United States. At some point before, during,
or after every lecture, some well-meaning but misguided soul, tells me that
I have it all wrong and that it's the Jews, the Catholics, the communists, or
the bankers that are the cause of all our ills. The target group is blamed for
everything that has ever gone wrong. Power over everyone and everything
is always attributed to this group whichever group it happens to
be at that moment to that person. These poor people are on the right track,
in that there has been and certainly is a conspiracy to bring about a totalitarian
world order. They are completely off track to think that any one
ethnic, religious, or financial group alone could ever muster enough power
to bring its plan to fruition. One group, you see, would always be opposed
by all of the other special-interest groups that exist and have always existed
throughout history. That is, unless they were all really the same group (the
Illuminati) or for some reason they became unified (the Bilderberg Group).
The one-group scenario, except for the Illuminati, has been used effectively
to divert your attention away from the truth. It has caused you to
fight each other in a manipulation that always leads the REAL conspiracy
closer to its ultimate goal, a New World Order. Those of you who believe
that Hitler was financed by Jews so that he could murder Jews have a
serious logic deficit. The fanatical leftists who tout that it's Nazis behind
the conspiracy have ignored the fact that very wealthy Jews are certainly
involved, along with many Catholics, Protestants, communists, atheists,
capitalists, Freemasons, etc., all of whom are diametrically opposed to each
other, at least on the surface.
Those on the right who believe that it is communist forget that U.S.
bankers financed the creation of the Soviet Union. Financial assistance
from MANY different countries, institutions, and peoples of opposing
religious and political beliefs has been the only thing that has kept the
unworkable communist economy afloat for all of these years. The Rockefeller
family has a bank branch in the Kremlin. Those on the right must
also ask why, whenever we have set out to stop communism, the United
States has only strengthened communism. No modern war, no matter
what it was called, has ever resulted in territorial gain for the winner. It is
not because our leaders are communist, as claimed by the right. Communism
was a creation meant to function as the antithesis to the United
States. Many of our leaders, however, are Illuminati.
The answer lies with the many faces of the Illuminati and the fact that
several unifying reasons for bringing about the New World Order surfaced
Chapter Nine Anatomy of an Alliance 165
immediately following World War II. It is possible, however, that one or
two or more of these reasons are not real, and thus manipulations. The
evidence indicates that they are real and dangerous, each in its own way,
and must be dealt with quickly and thoroughly.
If it were secretly discovered that extraterrestrial beings were visiting
the earth it certainly would make sense to unite humanity against the
possible threat that this would present. If extraterrestrials are not visiting
earth, then it would make sense to invent them in order to convince
opposing forces to unite against the threat. This has been done whether or
not the alien beings in question exist; however, there are more believable
and more immediate dangers that may be the reason for an alliance of so
many traditionally opposing groups. Aliens will be discussed at length in
a later chapter.
The reason could be the threatened extinction of the human race by no
other enemy than the human race itself. This threat may not be a manipu-
lation; it may be real, and unless drastic measures are taken, may material-
ize within the next one hundred years.
Following World War II something happened that was to have tremendous
significance for the future of all mankind. The intellectuals took
note of this happening and brought it to the attention of the world power
elite The elite were severely shaken by the predicted repercussions of this
event. They were told that by or shortly after the year 2000 the total
collapse of civilization as we know it and the possible extinction of the
human race could occur. It could occur, that is, if we did not destroy the
earth with nuclear weapons before then. They were told that the only
things that could stop these predicted events would be severe cutbacks of
the human population, the cessation or retardation of technological and
economic growth, the elimination of meat in the human diet, strict control
of future human reproduction, a total commitment to preserving the environment,
colonization of space, and a paradigm shift in the evolutionary
consciousness of man.
Those in power immediately formed an alliance and set about bring
ing the recommended changes to fruition through propaganda, mind con-
trol and other manipulations of the masses. The Illuminati's prayers had
been answered.
What was this event that caused so much consternation and changed
forever the future of the world? Millions of soldiers returned from war.
The soldiers found lonely, eager women waiting for them. The greatest
coupling in the history of the human race occurred. The result was everyone
born between 1941 and 1955 and the children that they would even-
tually produce. It was me and you and everyone who lives today. It was
166 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
the great worldwide BABY BOOM. It was the culmination of all man's
efforts to survive through history. It was modern medicine, better diets,
heat in winter, pure running water, and proper disposal of sewage. It was
the point in history when the birth rate so exceeded the death rate that the
world's population doubled between 1957 and 1990. It was the most
wonderful time in the history of the world, but it was also the worst. It
signaled the end of man's most precious achievement. An alliance of all of
the powers on earth, open and hidden, decided that individual freedoms
could no longer be tolerated in the interest of the preservation of the human
race. They believed the common man could not be trusted.
What had been the unfulfilled dream of many individual groups
became reality by the concentration of power in the alliance known as the
Bilderberg Group. What had been impossible before was now promised
The New World Order that so many had envisioned was now a certainty.
The first study was made during World War II to determine the impact
of the returning soldiers upon the economy. The results mobilized the
ruling elite. A second secret study was conducted in 1957 by scientists
meeting in Huntsville, Alabama. It confirmed the results of the first. The
conclusion was that civilization as we know it would collapse shortly after
the year 2000 unless the population was seriously curtailed. The study
expressed a concern that since atomic weapons existed they would ul-
timately be used. Total worldwide disarmament was urged. Congress
adopted the disarmament plan and created the U.S. Disarmament Agency,
President Dwight David Eisenhower had this to say in 1957: "As a result of
lowered infant mortality, longer lives, and the accelerating conquest of
famine there is under way a population explosion so incredibly great that
in little more than another generation the population of the world is ex-
pected to double."
A third study was made by the Club of Rome ending in 1968 to
determine the limits to growth. The result was the same. The Club of
Rome was commissioned to develop a computer model of the world so as
to predict the outcome of corrections made to social and economic structures
by the elect. The Club of Rome was also asked to develop a computer
model of a New World Order. Both tasks were accomplished.
Studies were done to determine a method to arrest the population
explosion before the point of no return would be reached. It was deter-
mined that an immediate attack on the problem would involve two points
of intervention. The first was to lower the birth rate and the second was to
increase the death rate.
To lower the birth rate several programs were put into motion. The
first was the development of positive birth-control methods using
ChapterNine Anatomy of an Alliance 167
mechanical (diaphragm and condom), chemical (foam and birth-control
pills), and medical (sterilization, abortion, and hysterectomy) procedures.
These were developed and implemented. The Women's Liberation movement
was started with the demand for free abortions, using "pro choice" as
its rallying cry. Homosexuality was encouraged and Gay Liberation was
born. Homosexuals do not have children. Zero population growth became
a hot subject at cocktail parties. Individual freedom, "the heat of the
moment," religion, and the old blue laws sabotaged these efforts, and while
zero population growth became a reality in some areas, population increased
rapidly in others.
The only alternative left to the world's ruling elite was to increase the
death rate. This was a difficult thing to do, as no one wanted to pick people
out of a crowd and line them up for execution. Neither did they relish the
possible consequences of an enraged public upon discovering that they
were being systematically murdered. Of course, a very short but very
deadly global war using nuclear weapons upon select population con-
centrations was contemplated and, to tell you the truth, was not ruled out.
The fact that such a population control was even contemplated confirmed
the worst fears of those who had participated in the 1957 study. War was
put on the back burner to simmer, but may become a reality. In the
meantime something else had to be done that would absolve the decision
makers of guilt and place the blame on those who did not lead clean lives.
Something that could be blamed upon Mother Nature. What was needed
was the bubonic plague or some other horrible but natural disease. The
answer came from Rome.
Several Top Secret recommendations were made by Dr. Aurelio Peccei
of the Club of Rome. He advocated that a plague be introduced that would
havhe same effect as the famous Black Death of history. The chief
recommendation was to develop a microbe which would attack the autoimmune
system and thus render the development of a vaccine impossible.
The orders were given to develop the microbe and to develop a prophylactic
and a cure. The microbe would be used against the general population
and would be introduced by vaccine. The prophylactic was to be used by
the rulling elite. The cure will be administered to the survivors when it is
decided that enough people have died. The cure will be announced as
newly developed when in fact it has existed from the beginning. This plan
is a part of Global 2000. The prophylactic and the cure are suppressed.
"Man has skyrocketed from a defensive position, largely subordinated
to Nature's alternatives, to a new and dominant one. From it he not only
can and does influence everything in the world but, voluntarily or unwit-
tingly, can and indeed does determine the alternatives of his own future
168 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
and ultimately must choose his options for it. In other words, his novel
power condition practically compels him to take up new regulatory functions
that willy-nilly he has had to discharge with respect to the world's
mixed natural-human systems. Having penetrated a number of the erst-
while mysteries and being able to sway events massively, he is now vested
with unprecedented, tremendous responsibilities and thrown into the new
role of moderator of life on the planet including his own." The above
words were written by Dr. Aurelio Peccei and are taken verbatim from
page 607 of The Global 2000 Report to the President.
Funding was obtained from the U.S. Congress under H.B. 15090
(1969), where $10 million was given to the DOD's 1970 budget. Testimony
before the Senate Committee revealed that they intended to produce "a
synthetic biological agent, an agent that does not naturally exist and for
which no natural immunity could have been acquired. Within the next 5 to
10 years it would probably be possible to make a new infective microor-
ganism which could differ in certain important aspects from any known
disease-causing organisms. Most important of these is that it might be
refractory to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we
depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease."
Sir Julian Huxley said, "Overpopulation is, in my opinion, the most
serious threat to the whole future of our species." The project, called
MK-NAOMI, was carried out at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Since large populations were to be decimated, the ruling elite decided
to target the "undesirable" elements of society. Specifically targeted were
the black, Hispanic, and homosexual populations. The poor homosexuals
were encouraged on the one hand and scheduled for extinction on the
other.
The African continent was infected via smallpox vaccine in 1977. The
vaccine was administered by the World Health Organization. According to
Dr. Robert Strecker, "Without a cure the entire black population of Africa
will be dead within 15 years. Some countries are well beyond epidemic
status."
The U.S. population was infected in 1978 with the hepatitis B vaccine.
Dr. Wolf Szmuness, the ex-roommate of Pope John Paul II, was the master-
mind behind the November/78 to October/79 and March/80 to Octo-
ber/81 experimental hepatitis B vaccine trials conducted by the Centers for
Disease Control in New York, San Francisco and four other American cities.
He loosed the plague of AIDS upon the American people. The gay popula-
tion was infected. The ads for participants specifically asked for promiscuous
homosexual male volunteers. Whatever causes AIDS was in the
vaccine. The vaccine was manufactured and bottled in Phoenix, Arizona.
Chapter Nine Anatomy of an Alliance 169
The order was given by the POLICY COMMITTEE of THE BILDER-
BERG GROUP based in Switzerland. Other measures were also ordered.
The one you will be able to check the easiest is the Haig-Kissinger
Depopulation Policy, which is administered by the State Department. This
policy dictates that Third World nations take positive and effective steps to
decrease their populations and hold them in check or they get no aid from
the United States. If the Third World nations refuse, civil war usually
breaks out and the rebels are usually found to be trained, armed, and
financed by the Central Intelligence Agency. That is why many more
civilians (especially young fertile females) than soldiers have been killed in
El Salvador, Nicaragua, and other places. These wars have been instigated
in Catholic countries by Jesuits (see Chapter 2).
The Haig-Kissinger depopulation policy has taken over various levels
of government and is in fact determining U.S. foreign policy. The planning
organization operates outside the White House and directs its entire efforts
to reduce the world's population by 2 billion people through war, famine,
disease, and any other means necessary. This group is the National Security
Council's Ad Hoc Group on Population Policy. The policy planning
staff is in the State Department's Office of Population Affairs, established in
1975 by Henry Kissinger. This same group drafted the Global 2000 Report
to the President that was given to Carter.
Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the State
Department's Office of Population Affairs (OPA) made the following state-
ments: "There is a single theme behind all our work; we must reduce
population levels. Either they do it our way, through nice clean methods or
they will get the kind of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran, or in
Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control
it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it....The
professionals," stated Ferguson, "aren't interested in lowering population
for humanitarian reasons. That sounds nice. We look at resources and
environmental constraints. We look at our strategic needs, and we say that
this country must lower its population, or else we will have trouble. So
steps are taken. El Salvador is an example where our failure to lower
population by simple means has created the basis for a national security
crisis. The government of El Salvador failed to use our programs to lower
their population. Now they get a civil war because of it. There will be
dislocation and food shortages. They still have too many people there.
Civil wars are somewhat drawn-out ways to reduce population. The
quickest way to reduce population is through famine, like in Africa or
through DISEASE, like the Black Death, all of which MIGHT OCCUR in El
Salvador." His budget for FY 1980 was $190 million; for FY 1981 it was
170 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
$220 million. The Global 2000 Report calls for doubling that figure.
Henry Kissinger created this group after discussion with leaders of the
Club of Rome during the 1974 population conferences in Bucharest and
Rome. The Club of Rome is controlled by Europe's Black Nobility.
Alexander Haig is a firm believer in population control. It was Haig thatbacked Kissinger and pushed the OPA into action.
Ferguson said, "We will go into a country and say, here is your god-
damn development plan. Throw it out the window. Start looking at the
size of your population and figure out what must be done to reduce it. Ifyou don't like that, if you don't want to choose to do it through planning,
then you'll have an El Salvador or an Iran, or worse, a Cambodia."
The real reason the Shah of Iran was overthrown was that his best
efforts to institute "clean programs" of birth control failed to make a
significant dent in the country's birth rate. The promise of jobs, through an
ambitious industrialization program, encouraged migration toward over-
crowded cities like Teheran. Under Ayatollah Khomeini, the clean programs
have been dismantled. The government may make progress becauseit has a program "to induce up to half of Teheran's 6 million residents to
relocate. Iran's war with Iraq really pleased the OPA." Now you know
about the Shah and now you know part of the reason we have troops in the
Middle East. Marcos fell victim to the same policy.
Daniel B. Luten had this to say: "...an organization cannot have aconservation policy without having a population policy....the sanity test
in which the candidate, confronted with an overflowing sink, is classified
according to whether he reaches for the mop or the faucet."
Thousands of people, mostly civilians, are killed in El Salvador's civil
war each year. "To accomplish what the State Department deems adequate
'population control,' the civil war would have to be greatly expanded,"
according to Thomas Ferguson, the Latin American case officer for the
OPA.
El Salvador was targeted for population control and war in an April
1980 population report published by the National Security Council. "El
Salvador is an example of a country with serious population and politicalproblems," the report states. "Rapid population growth the birth rate
has remained unchanged in recent years aggravates its population den-
sity, which is already the highest on mainland Latin America. While a
population program exists on paper, it has not been pursued with a strong
commitment, and contraceptives remain unavailable." The populationprogram "really did not work," OPA's Ferguson said. 'The infrastrucure
was not there to support it. There were just too many goddamn people. Ifyou want to control a country, you have to keep the population down. Too
Chapter Nine Anatomy of an Alliance 171
many people breed social unrest and communism."
"Something had to be done," the OPA official said. The birth rate is 3.3
percent one of the highest in the world. Its population, he complained,
will double in 21 years. "The civil war can help things, but it would have to
be greatly expanded."
In making sure that the population falls in El Salvador, Ferguson said,
the OPA has learned a lot from its experiences in Vietnam. "We studied the
thing. That area was also overpopulated and a problem. We thought that
the war would lower population and we were wrong." Now you know
what we were really doing in Vietnam and why we were not allowed to
win According to Ferguson, the population in Vietnam increased during
the war, despite U.S. use of defoliation and a combat strategy that encouraged
civilian casualties. Now you know why those of us in the know
consider Lt. Calley to be a scapegoat.
To reduce population "quickly," said Ferguson "you have to pull all
the males into the fighting and kill significant numbers of fertile, childbearing
age females." He criticized the current civil war in El Salvador:
"You are killing a small number of males and not enough fertile females to
do the job on the population. If the war went on 30 to 40 years like this,
then you might accomplish something. Unfortunately, we don't have too
many instances like that to study."
To aid you in your research of this travesty, the names of the significant
reports are THE POPULATION BOMB by DR. PAUL R. EHRLICH (his wife
Anne is a member of the Club of Rome), THE GLOBAL 2000 REPORT TO
THE PRESIDENT, and THE LIMITS TO GROWTH, A REPORT FOR THE
CLUB OF ROME'S PROJECT ON THE PREDICAMENT OF MANKIND.
In April 1968 the study began publicly in the Academia dei Lincei in
Rome, Italy. The study had been ongoing in secret ever since the initial
findings of the Huntsville meeting of 1957. They met at the instigation of
Dr. Aurelio Peccei. The first real public indication of their findings and the
solution that had been decided upon was publication of the book The
Population Bomb in May 1968. Notice how close the dates are. On page 17
of The Population Bomb, a telling paragraph reveals all there is to know.
"In summary, the world's population will continue to grow as long as
the birth rate exceeds the death rate; it's as simple as that. When it stops
growing or starts to shrink, it will mean that either the birth rate has gone
down the death rate has gone up or a combination of the two. Basically,
then, there are only two kinds of solutions to the population problem. One
is a 'birth rate solution,' in which we find ways to lower the birth rate. The
other is a 'death rate solution,' in which ways to raise the death rate war,
famine, pestilence find us. The problem could have been avoided by
172 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
population control, in which mankind consciously adjusted the birth
rate so that a 'death rate solution' did not have to occur."
The recommendations of the results of the study were made by Dr.
Aurelio Peccei, who pledged not to use the prophylactic and not to take the
cure should the microbe be developed and should he contract the disease.
Dr. Peccei was considered a hero for deciding to take the same risk as the
general population. The public results of the study were published in 1968
and again in 1972. The MIT project team members that developed the
computer model study are listed below:

When the study was completed in 1969 U.N. Secretary General U
Thant of the United Nations made this statement:
"I do not wish to seem overdramatic, but I can only conclude from the
information that is available to me as Secretary General, that the Members
of the United Nations have perhaps ten years left in which to subordinate
their ancient quarrels and launch a global partnership to curb the arms
race, to defuse the population explosion, and to supply the required
momentum to development efforts. If such a global partnership is not
forged within the next decade, then I very much fear that the problems I
have mentioned will have reached such staggering proportions that they
will be beyond our capacity to control."
MK-NAOMI was developed by the Special Operations Division
(SOD) scientists at Ft. Detrick, Maryland under the supervision of the CIA.
Chapter Nine Anatomy of an Alliance 173
A reference to the project MK-NAOMI can be found in The Intelligence
Community by Fain et al., Bowker, 1977.
Lt. Col. James "Bo" Gritz was a member of the Special Operations
Division of the Department of Defense, the commander of U.S. Special
Forces in Latin America, the principle agent for the National Security
Council's supersecret Intelligence Support Activity (ISA), which hatched
the illegal groups known as Yellow Fruit and Seaspray, and the Congres-
sional Relations Chief for the Pentagon. Lt. Col. Gritz claims he didn't
know of any illegalities in the military or in government until he was told
by a drug lord in a Third World nation. I'm sorry, but I am not that easily
duped. I recommend that we support his efforts as long as his efforts help
us, I also recommend that we watch him very carefully. There is a slim
chance that Gritz is legitimate, but I would not put my life in his hands.
Lowell Sumner expressed his view: "As a biologist the human population
explosion, and its declining spiral of natural resources, is to me the
greatest threat of all. The time is ripe, even dangerously overripe, as far as
the population control problem is concerned. We shall have to face up or
ultimately perish, and what a dreary, stupid, unlovely way to perish, on a
ruined globe stripped of its primeval beauty."
Many other population controls have been promulgated. The reduc-
tion of the world's population to workable levels has been virtually as-
sured. It is only a matter of time. The problem will be to curtail further
human reproduction beyond approved levels. To handle that problem the
New World Order will adopt the Communist Chinese model of population
control. It is the only population-control program that has ever worked.
The old and infirm have been periodically murdered and couples are
forbidden to have more than one child. Penalties are so severe that families
in China with two children are extremely rare. Three-children families are
nonexistent. A surprising byproduct is that Chinese children as a group are
treated better than any other national grouping of children in the world,
including the United States.
Tobacco fields in the U.S. have been fertilized with the radioactive
haillings from uranium mines, resulting in a tremendous increase in the
incidence of lip, mouth, throat, and lung cancer. If you do not believe it,
just look at the incidence of lung cancer per capita before 1950 and compare
it to the lung cancer per capita at the present time. Are those who smoke
committing suicide, or are they being murdered?
Malathion, a nerve gas developed by the Nazis during World War II to
kill people, is being sprayed heavily on population centers in California.
The excuse used is that it will kill the Mediterranean fruit fly. The tipoff is
that the orchards are not being sprayed, only people. The helicopters come

from Evergreen in Arizona, a known government and a suspected CIA
base. The pilots are contract pilots furnished by Evergreen. Evergreen has
been named as one of the bases where drugs are flown in from Central
America. The City of Pasadena passed a law making it illegal to spray
malathion within the city limits. The law was ignored and the city took no
action. When the people of California literally revolted against the spraying
of malathion, the Governor of California stated that he did not have the
power to stop the operation. What higher power is there that could
prevent a governor of a state from halting the spraying of an insecticide? A
warning was issued to cover up automobiles and belongings because
malathion could destroy paint, some plastics, and other property. People,
they said, would not be injured. It is a lie.
Heart disease used to be a very rare illness. Now it is epidemic. Go
and look at the statistics. I do not know what is causing this, but 80 years
ago people consumed more salt, fat, cholesterol, and everything else that
heart disease is blamed upon, but the disease was rare. Why is it now one
of the leading killers?
In the state of Colorado and elsewhere dioxin is turning up in the
drinking water in alarming levels. It should not be present in any amount.
Where is it coming from? Dioxin is one of the deadliest chemicals known
to man. Colorado citizens attempting to do battle against the dioxin con-
tamination are met with closed doors, denial, and attacks upon their char-
acters.
We have watched the news in horror as story after story unfolded
revealing that the Army and the CIA had released germs and viruses into
the population to test their biological warfare capability. In light of what
you have learned in this chapter you should now know that it was really to
reduce population.
It is a matter of public record that investigations into cover-ups of
radioactive leaks into the atmosphere and into ground water have revealed
that some leaks were not accidental but were purposful. Some areas of the
country now have such a high rate of cancer that virtually everyone who
lives in these areas will die other than a natural death. The true extent of
radioactive gases, waste, and toxic material, especially cesium-137, stron-
tium-90, uranium-mine and -mill tailings, thorium-230, radium-226, and
radon-222 that has leaked or has been purposely planted in the atmosphere,
soil, and ground water is far beyond anything you or I can imagine.
Every investigation has revealed that the true figures regarding radioactive
leakage are much larger than official figures and the real numbers may
never be known. Cover-up has become SOP (standard operating proce-
dure) at all levels and in all departments of government. Do we dream
Chapter Nine Anatomy of an Alliance 175
reality or is reality a dream?
According to Dr. Eva Snead, the San Francisco Bay area has one of the
highest cancer rates in the world. The San Francisco Bay area has been
revealed as one of the primary test locations of the Central Intelligence
Agency's biological and chemical programs. You may recall that Legion-
naire's disease was an experimental bacteria released into the wind on the
San Francisco Bay from a government-operated boat. San Francisco is also
one of the six known inoculation sites for the CIA Project MK-NAOMI
(AIDS). The Bay area was headquarters for Dr. Timothy Leary, who intro-
duced the drug culture to American youth under CIA Project MK-ULTRA.
It is suspected that the San Francisco Bay area was also subjected to
large doses of radiation to test the effects upon a population over a prolonged
period of time. Why do they hate San Francisco? The answer is
that the largest homosexual population in America lives in San Francisco
and they have been targeted for extermination.
A reason for the New World Order, or rationalization, as the case may
be, is the very real possibility that some terrorist will set off a global nuclear
war by detonating an atomic bomb to make a political point. I believe that
it is safe to say that any large-scale exchange of atomic or hydrogen
weapons will result in the complete destruction of civilization, and could
precipitate the escalation of the onslaught of an ice age. The obvious
conclusion would be that any kind of compromise leading to coexistence is
better han any kind of nuclear exchange. In other words, "better Red than
dead." This is exactly what the hierarchy has decided, only the New World
Order will not be Red. It will be fascist. It will, in fact, be a socialist
totalitarian state.
It is hoped that a natural metamorphosis will eventually occur. The
Illuminati hope that it will result in a paradigm shift of the evolutionary
consciousness of man. This could cause the formation of a state where no
government is needed, where anarchy is not to be feared. They dream that
the end result will be the world that Christ taught but that the Christian
religion prevents. It is ironic that the Illuminati actually believe that this
can evolve from a plan built upon such suffering. Christ suffered, if the
New Testament is true, to bring about his world; and if he suffered maybe
it is necessary that we also suffer. I am not wise enough to know the
answer.
I managed to locate a reference to The Protocols of Sion dated in the
1700s (see Chapter 15, page 269). This plan for subjugation of the world
correctly outlined exactly what has happened since the Protocols were
discovered, and that is all that is needed to confirm the authenticity of the
information contained within the document. It is clear that the Illuminati
176 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
has planned to rule the world for centuries.
They have followed the plan outlined in The Protocols of Sion. The
Illuminati could not possibly have succeeded, however, if an alliance had
not been formed with the other world power structures. Is the world
population crisis a hoax perpetrated to bring that alliance about? It it
possible. All I can say is that my own calculations, using the knowledge
available to me, performed on my 386 computer, confirm that the crisis it
real, and is, in fact, very serious. If it is a manipulation, the whole world
has been fooled.
ALL INTELLECTUALS, RULERS, AND GOVERNING BODIES
AGREE THAT POPULATION IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO CIVILIZA-
TION THAT WE KNOW OF TODAY. It does not matter what you believe.
If THEY believe it, you will be affected because they have the power.
The New World Order will eliminate the population threat in several
ways. Complete control of individual behavior may be established using
electronic or chemical implants. No one will be allowed to have a child
without permission; stiff penalties wait for those who ignore the law. The
violent, the old, the infirm, the handicapped, and the unproductive will be
killed. Private property will be abolished. Since religion helped to create
the population problem, it will not be tolerated except for the approved
state-controlled religion which will evolve according to man's needs.
Joseph Campbell explains this concept excellently in his series with Bill
Movers called "The Power of Myth." Cash will disappear and with it most
crime will also disappear; but total control of each individual will be the
price we pay.
Man cannot be trusted to safeguard what little is left in the way of
natural resources. Technological development and economic growth will
be severely cut back. Man will be required to live like his ancestors. Those
who learn to be self-sufficient and can adapt to the absence of many of the
things that we take for granted today, such as automobiles, will get along
fine. Others will suffer terribly. Man will once again conform to the law of
the survival of the fittest.
No one is going to like the loss of individual freedoms guaranteed us
by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I do not like or agree with what is
planned. Intellectually I know that people will not solve the problems that
we face unless they are made to do it. That is a sad commentary on the
common man, but nevertheless it is true. The New World Order is evil but
very much needed if man is to survive long enough to plant his seed
amongst the stars. A paradigm shift and starseed are the only legitimate
long-term answers.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE ALL BEEN SO WRONG FOR SO LONG. It
Chapter Nine Anatomy of an Alliance 177
never was what we thought it was. Nothing is or ever will be until we
learn to live in reality instead of fantasyland. A paradigm shift in the
evolutionary consciousness of man MUST take place. Right or wrong, the
world is covered with agents of the Illuminati who are attempting to cause
that evolutionary jump. We have not been taken into their confidence. As
you learned in Chapter One, we have been judged too stupid to under-
stand.
It is true that without the population or the bomb problem the elect
would use some other excuse to bring about the New World Order. They
have plans to bring about things like earthquakes, war, the Messiah, an
extra-terrestrial landing, and economic collapse. They might bring about
all of these things just to make damn sure that it does work. They will do
whatever is necessary to succeed. The Illuminati has all the bases covered
and you are going to have to be on your toes to make it through the coming
years.
ACCORDING TO PLANS, MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE
BETWEEN NOW AND THE YEAR 2,000; BUT IF THESE PLANS ARE
NOT SUCCESSFUL THE HUMAN RACE COULD BECOME EXTINCT.
Nothing on earth can change this except a tremendous reduction and
stabilization of the population. Without starseed this reduction and stabilization
would only delay the inevitable, as eventually all raw materials will
be completely depleted. A never-ending source of free energy will then be
needed. That may be possible but is unlikely to solve the problem.
Without some central common need that would bind man together, a
source of free energy would most likely result in total anarchy. So you see,
what was needed in the beginning is still needed in the end. A paradigm
shift in the evolutionary consciousness of man coupled with starseed is the
most logical answer for the human race.
We must learn to accept individual responsibility for the world's
problems or be willing to live by the terms of those who do. We must learn
to love one another, share, deplore violence, and work with nature, not
against it. We must do all of this while colonizing the Universe. We must
be prepared in the process to peacefully meet and deal with an extrater
restrial intelligence. I believe they exist.
Can you imagine what will happen if Los Angeles is hit with a 9.0
quake, New York City is destroyed by a terrorist-planted atomic bomb,
World War III breaks out in the Middle East, the banks and the stock
markets collapse, Extraterrestrials land on the White House lawn, food
disappears from the markets, some people disappear, the Messiah presents
himself to the world, and all in a very short period of time? Can you
imagine? The world power structure can, and will if necessary, make some
178 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
or all of those things happen to bring about the New World Order.
PATRIOTS MUST NOT BE AT HOME ON ANY NATIONAL HOLI-
DAY DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT EVER AGAIN UNTIL THE DAN-
GER IS PAST. DISREGARD THIS WARNING AND YOU WILL FIND
YOURSELF IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP. In the camp you will be
treated for a mental illness called nationalism, common to patriots. This
illness is not in the interest of the New World Order. Those who cannot be
cured will be exterminated. When asked what was in store for the world in
the coming decade, Henry Kissinger said this: ''Everything is going to be
different. Many will suffer. A New World Order will emerge. It will be a
much better world for those who survive. In the long run life will be better.
The world we have wanted will be reality."

180 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
EXPLANATION
I had intended to write a long and thoroughly referenced chapter on
the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, the right of the
people to keep and bear arms.
I had to eat humble pie when I read the following text entitled "Les-
sons from Lithuania'' by Neal Knox. It was contributed by a member of the
Citizens Agency for Joint Intelligence. I was impressed by its simplicity
and ability to deliver with very few words the precise message that I had
intended to convey in twenty pages. Since I believe that sometimes less is
more, and since my ego has nothing to do with this book and its message,
"Lessons from Lithuania" has been printed in its entirety, with no changes,
as the complete chapter on the Second Amendment. Try as I might, I could
never improve upon Neal's simple statement.
My deepest appreciation to Neal Knox and The Firearms Coalition for
permission to use "Lessons from Lithuania."
LESSONS FROM LITHUANIA
by Neal Knox
Those who avoid and evade the reason for the Second Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution would surely admit that if Lithuania had a Second
Amendment, Mikhail Gorbachev violated it on March 22,1990 Russian
troops seized arms from the Lithuanian militia. Or was "the right of the
people to keep and bear arms" actually violated two days earlier, when
Premier Gorbachev ordered private citizens to turn in their hunting and
competition guns to the Russian army within one week "for temporary
safekeeping" or have them confiscated and their owners imprisoned? Or
was "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" initially violated many
years before, when the people were first prohibited from possessing guns
without permission of government and laws were passed requiring every
gun to be registered? In fact, the Soviet Constitution guarantees the people
the right to keep and bear arms, and Lithuania is part of the Soviet Union
or so Gorbachev contends. But obviously the Soviet government pays
no more attention to that constitutional freedom guarantee than do the
majority of the U.S. government, the International Association of Chiefs of
Police, or CBS and the Washington Post. What is the difference, precisely,
between the confiscation of private firearms in Lithuania and the confisca-
tion ordered by S. 166, the Graves bill now pending in the New Jersey
Senate? What is the difference, precisely, between the registration law in
Lithuania which makes confiscation possible and the registration of
Chapter Ten Lessons from Lithuania 181
military-style firearms required by California's Roberti-Roos bill, which
went into effect January 1,1990. What is the difference, precisely, between
Lithuania's law prohibiting the people from owning military-style firearms
and the so-called "assault rifle" bans now pending in both houses of
Congress and in many states? The difference is that the people of the
United States are free men and women who can trust their benevolent
government. FOREVER?
NOTE: Nothing has so clearly demonstrated the reasons for the Second
Amendment and the reasons it must be defended than when on Dec. 14,1981,
when Gen. Jaruzelski declared martial law in Poland, placed all press under total
government control, and declared all firearms licenses and gun registration certifi-
cates void requiring the licensed owners to turn in their registered guns within
48 hours. Of course, since the government knew where every gun was except
those in the hands of criminals they had no choice but to comply.

Author's Note: This is a lesson that we hope to learn only from reading and
not in the manner learned by the Poles and Lithuanians. After reading the
above, I hope you will agree with me that anyone who attempts to subvert the
Second Amendment or any other section or legal amendment of the Constitu-
tion is a traitor and should be arrested and tried for treason. I hope that you
will copy this chapter and distribute it as widely as possible, to as many
people as possible. Education is more than half the battle.
In case you have not guessed by now, the fact that most Americans own at
least one firearms weapon is the only thing that has kept the New World
Order at bay.
A Ray of Hope: As of January 8, 1991, less than 10% of all California gun
owners have registered their firearms. Many Californians stood in the streets
with weapons in hand and publicly burned the registration forms. Network
news did not cover these demonstrations, and no mention has been made on
television that California gun owners have ignored this unconstitutional gun-
registration law.
CHAPTER 11
COUP
DE GRACE
High Crimes & Misdemeanors
Treason Committed by the Joint Chiefs
Phone Conversation with Randall Terpstra
184 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
BACKGROUND
When I finished "The Secret Government" in May 1989, a temptation
existed to remove the material that I had written on the Nixon resignation.
I thought that no one would ever believe that a coup had occurred in the
United States. Furthermore, I held no hope that anyone would ever step
forward and substantiate my claim. I was wrong. People did believe it,
and subsequent to my delivery of the paper on July 2, 1989, three in-
dividuals have come forward to confirm that a coup did in fact take place.
This chapter is the transcript of a phone conversation between me and one
of those people, Randall Terpstra.
The members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who were serving at the time
of Nixon's resignation were asked if they had instructed their commands to
ignore orders from the White House. They replied that the subject had
come up but that it was not done. They lied.
CONFIRMATION OF A COUP
Randy: This is Randy.
Bill: Hi, Randy?
Randy: Yes...
Bill: This is Bill Cooper.
Randy: Hello, Bill.
Bill: You left a message on my phone. I didn't get to hear it because
my wife took the messages off the phone and wrote them down. I have no
idea why you called. If you'll let me in on it...
Randy: Well, I have a copy of your documents that were provided in
me by a friend, and uh...two things: One, I'm missing a page on one of
them. The one that you've titled "Operation Majority," the final release. It
looks like I'm losing page 3, 'cause on the...I have page 2 that says, "MJ-12
is the name of the" dah-da dah-da dah-da "under the leadership of the
director" and then it flips right over and the first line on the next page that
I have says "means MAJI controlled." I appear to be missing a page on that
one.
Bill: Hmmm. Okay.
Randy: The second is I have to close my office door. One moment.
Bill: Sure...
[Can hear door close.]
Randy: I'll be frank with you. When I first started reading, my first
reaction was, "Gee, this is National Enquirer material, up until a point when
I came across something that startled me a little in the same document
your final release document. You used two terms that I've only seen on
Chapter Eleven Coup de Grace 185
other place, and that was MAJESTY and MAJORITY. When I was in the
Navy, I was a radioman, and in the mid seventies the year escapes me at
the moment, it's been a long time, I've only had your papers since last night
- and I was involved in a joint Apollo-Soyuz moon shot. I was an onboard
crypto operator, which basically meant that all message traffic of a certain
nature, which was referred to as SPECAT or special category, was off-line
encrypted. ed. During the Apollo-Soyuz shot we established what was
referred to as a termination with an unknown location. That location
identified itself only as MAJORITY CONTROL.
Bill: Okay...
Randy: All of the message traffic we sent to and from this location was
off-line encrypted, which was rather odd because...First, let me explain it.
In the Navy when you send a SPECAT, or Special Category message, you
go into what's called a clean environment. The message is drafted by the
originator or on a piece of paper. That piece of paper is brought directly to a
designated SPECAT operator somebody who has a SPECAT or higher
clearance who enters that in the teletype on a paper tape with the hole
punched in it for transmission.
Bill: Right.
[Randy did not know that one of my duties as the Petty Officer of the Watch
in the CINCPACFLT Command Center was SPECAT operator for the Command
Center.]
Randy: At that point the SPECAT operator goes onto the circuit,
notifies the other end that he has SPECAT traffic to transmit. The other
end... an authorized SPECAT operator has to come on the circuit at the
other end. He has to identify himself back to you with his SPECAT code
number, his name and service number. Now, to me at this particular
moment in time and space this would be in the middle seventies that
was probably the most insulated means of transmitting information point
to point in the military, because you knew who wrote the message, who
had seen it to transmit, who had received it, all the way to its ultimate
Bill: Uh huh...
Randy: Well, in this particular case all of the message traffic was being
handed to me and I was instructed to encode it through a machine called a
KL-47, which takes standard text material and turns it out into five-letter
blocks - random characters. And the origination...they...there were five of
us onboard the USS Mount Whitney, and the five of us were SPECAT
operators. We were on a revolving shift all during the Apollo-Soyuz
mission. We were put into a controlled environment that it was a room
with a teletype and a cot in it and we were told to maintain the term
186 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
circuit to MAJORITY control. Every hour a Mr. Logan from NASA would
come down to the room, punch in because it had a cipher lock on the door,
look at any message traffic that came in, and then we would burn it, right
in the room. He would draft his replies, which I would enter on the KL-47,
take the tape, transmit it and then he would burn the outgoing messages as
well.
Bill: Uhhuh.
[Note: The tape is made by the KL-47. It is a paper tape containing thefive-character grouping encryption. The tape is put onto a sprocket in the
teletype machine and it automatically sends the message to the addressee. Itcomes out at the other end in encrypted form and must be decoded. At leastthat is the way I was trained as designated SPECAT Operator to do it in theCINCPACFLT Command Center.]
Randy: I don't remember a lot of what was sent because it was very,
very busy times. We had so many civilians on board the ship that it
was...an incredible amount of work going on.
Bill: I can imagine.
Randy: I do know that hourly we received a report from MAJORITY
CONTROL that was headed now, this is after I've decoded it...the head-
ing was always MAJESTY ADVISORY, over and over and over again.
Bill: Okay.
[Note: MAJESTY ADVISORY messages were sent by CINCPACTLT to update
or inform the President personally of beginning, ending, or ongoing operationsthat could result in serious repercussions to the United States, i.e. the bombingof North Vietnam after the President had informed the American people thatno more bombing would occur.]
Randy: Now after doing this I was on for four hours, then off for four
then on for four. We did a rollover like that for the whole Apollo-Soyuz
mission. The other thing that I saw that tripped me off a little bit was the
term "IACs."
Bill: Identified Alien Craft!
Randy: They...that was never...they never spelled out the acronym. It
was just IACs.
Bill: Fantastic!
Randy: It was recurring through all of this message traffic that I was
sending.
Bill: Randy, you are a godsend... Where have you been hiding all of
these years?
Randy: Well, it's...how I came about getting your document is a long
story as well, but when I read through it, it was just like a floodgate opened
up and all these memories kept coming back.
Bill: Right.
Chapter Eleven Coup de Grace 187
Randy: Now, at the end of it, after the Apollo-Soyuz mission concluded,
the five operators, myself included, were given 50 days basket
leave, which in the Navy meant they give you leave for free.
Bill: Sure. Yeah.
Randy: They didn't dock you for it.
Bill: Go home, get drunk, forget about this.
Randy: Exactly!
Bill: Yeah.
Randy: And when I came back 1 was taken from third class to second
class spot promotion, and I was moved to the teletype repair shop, which
was quite prestigious at that time.
Bill: Yeah. If s quite normal when you're exposed to this material.
They either snuff you or promote you.
Randy: Well, I've lost contact with the other well, I mean we had a
ship reunion a couple a years ago, and it never occurred to me about these
other guys. But I don't...I don't have a conscious memory of seeing them.
But as I said when I read through this, it was rather startling to see things
that uh, that I'm aware of.
Bill: Uhhuh.
Randy: I, I'm really interested in that missing page, actually.
Bill: Yeah. Was there anything else that you can remember that-
Randy: No, thaf s, I mean, at the time it didn't mean a damn to me. I
mean, being a radioman, we pumped so much traffic through that ship.
Mount Whitney is an amphibious communications command ship.
Bill: Yeah, I'm familiar with it. Were you in the Navy at the time that
Nixon resigned?
Randy: No, I was not.
Bill: Hmmmm.
Randy: I was acting as a consultant to a company that was doing work
for the U.S. Marine Corps, though.
Bill: Uh huh. Were you in communications at that time?
Randy: Yes, I was.
Bill: Do you remember a message that came to military commands?
Let me see if I can remember the exact words. I believe the message
said... uh.
Randy: "Upon receipt you are instructed to no longer accept direct
orders from the White House."
Bill: Right!
Randy: Actually, they didn't use the term White House. They used
the term "TOP HAT."
Bill: TOP HAT. I remember "White House" in the one that I saw. I
188 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
was aboard the Oriskany when I saw this.
Randy: I was working with a Lt. Col. A. P. Finlon as a civilian consult-
ant on a device called the MCC-20, which is a multiplexer device.
Bill: His name was Finland or Fin...?
Randy: Finlon...F -I -N -L -O -N , and he was the recipient of the
message. He was the S-3 operations director for the 6th Marine Am-
phibious Brigade.
Bill: Okay, you realize the implications of all of this, don't you, Randy?
You know whaf s happening.
Randy: Yeah, I've taken a liberty with the documentation you sent me
and I've forwarded it to someone else.
Bill: Okay, I am in dire need...I'm trying to do this as quickly and as
cleanly as I can to get the people in this country to wake up, or we're gonna
lose it. And if s...I'm fighting a battle pretty much on my own. There are
people rallying around and they're helping out, and I'm getting bits of
information here and there. I need people who have the balls to stand up
with me and say what they saw. And I understand that, you know, when
anybody does that they're putting themselves in danger. But I don't see
any greater danger than the loss of our Constitution and what they have in
store down the road. They've literally thrown it in the trash can already,
anyway. And what, I guess what I'm asking is for your help. Would you
be willing to go public with what you just told me?
Randy: I already have.
Bill: You have?
Randy: I forwarded your manuscript along with exactly what I've just
told you to Lt. Col. Robert Brown, the director of the Soldier of Fortune
magazine.
Bill: Fantastic!
Randy: I spoke with his secretary on the phone, described what it was
all about, she in turn passed it on to him. He said, "Send it to me quick."
Bill: Fantastic!
Randy: If anybody...Soldier of Fortune magazine has the biggest
military following of any publication in the world. If anybody was in the
service who saw this stuff, it'll be them.
Bill: Fantastic! Great. Do you mind if I use the information that
you've told me? Can I say that someone has corroborated what I've said?
Randy: Absolutely!
Bill: Can I use your name?
Randy: Yes!
Bill: What's your last name?
Randy: Terpstra.
Chapter Eleven Coup de Grace 189
Bill: Let me get your address.
Randy: 130 Foothill Court, Morgan Hill, California, 95037.
Bill: Your first name is Randy?
Randy: My first name is Randall, middle name Wayne.
Bill: Okay, Randy. You're a godsend. If you were right in front of me
I'd kiss ya. I swear to God, I have been hunting so hard for people to come
out of the woodwork, because I know there's a lot of people out there who
know.
Randy: They don't know it the I mean, you've taken a lot of loose
bits and pieces that I've had. I mean, thaf s the problem. Yes, there's a lot
of people who know things, but they don't know what they know.
Bill: Yeah, I'm sure of that. And if s so compartmentalized that what
they know, they don't believe is wrong.
Randy: Well, one of the things I'm really stirring up some controversy
about is, I want more information about NRO, and the one person who can
get it is Col. Brown. If that exists...
Bill: Well, NRO is the National Reconnaissance Organization that first
put together the DELTA teams which were specifically assigned to security
of the alien-tasked projects. They've since been used for all kinds of other
things. Now, there's a different NRO that you have to be careful you don't
get wrapped up in, and that's the National Reconnaissance Office, which is
responsible for the spy satellites.
Randy: To even throw a little more smoke on it, do you know Col.
Charles Beckwith down in Florida?
Hill: No.
Randy: Col. Charles Beckwith was the one who came up with the
whole term DELTA FORCE. That's that rescue, the hostage rescue group,
the Green Beret unit?
Bill: Uh huh.
Randy: Now, he originally wanted to call it something else, and the
White House pushed DELTA FORCE down his throat.
Bill: Do you know that I talked to Barbara Honegger? Have you read
October Surprise?
Randy: No, I haven't. As a matter of fact, I've got your bibliography
here and I was about to make a call to a friend of mine who runs a
bookstore to place a rather large order.
Bill: Okay, Barbara Honegger wrote October Surprise and they refused
to print one chapter. I met her at one of the talks that I give and we got very
embroiled in conversation. She ended up coming over to my home, and we
talked face to face. There were about four other witnesses there who heard
her say this to me. She said, "At DESERT ONE, the first craft that was there
190 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
was an antigravity disc craft carrying DELTA personnel. Then the aircraft
and the helicopters came in." And she said the purpose of the alien crafts,
or the craft that we built from alien technology, or the alien craft that we're
using was to ensure the sabotage of the operation.
[Note: Sometime later Barbara Honnegger related the same story on the
Anthony Hilder "Telling It Like It Is, Like It Or Not" radio show. During the
broadcast she said the antigravity craft was from a project named REDLIGHT.
Ms. Honegger was a White House staff member during the Reagan
and Bush administrations.]
Randy: That makes sense, because I have some 8x10 glossies of that
Jolly Green Giant that caught on fire and burnt.
Bill: Uh huh.
Randy: I have some real problems with that. I'm a military nut. I
spent my time in the Navy, and I've since been associated with a variety of
military groups.
Bill: Yeah.
Randy: I have some pictures of that photo, of that helicopter that
were...they're black & white AP photos. And it shows a burnt pattern that
starts at the nose of the aircraft and goes back across the fuel tanks. They
don't originate in the fuel tanks. So how in the hell did that helicopter catch
fire right at the cockpit and outside of the cockpit, out on the fuselage?
Bill: That's a good question. The alien beam weapons will do that
though.
Randy: Now ask a new question.
Bill: Uh huh.
Randy: The beam weapons you refer to, do they leave a pattern on the
material, a wavy, ripply pattern?
Bill: That I don't know. All I know about the beam weapons is this.
That they are only effective at short range; that they can paralyze a human
being; they can levitate a human being; they can burn something out of
your hands without hurting you, like an M-16; and fry you to a crisp and
nothing but ashes is left. It can give you a sunburn. It depends upon the
degree of how they want to use this thing as to exactly what it will do
That's what I remember, and that's what my research has also confirmed
At Ellsworth Air Force Base, in fact, one airman security patrol en-
countered an alien craft and aliens on the ground. He aimed his M-16 at
them, and this weapon, this beam hit the M-16 and literally vaporized it.
He had burns on his hands, but otherwise he was unhurt.
Randy: Have you read or heard the reports about something called
spontaneous human combustion?
Bill: Yes! That is caused by..in fact, it can, it can be done and it's a
Chapter Eleven Coup de Grace 191
weapon that we use. The intelligence community can get rid of some...
Randy: I respect you a great deal. You know things that you
shouldn't know, but you're right.
Bill: Yes, I do know things that I shouldn't know, and hopefully I can
get it all out before something happens to me. But you know, I just, I love
this country so much, I love the Constitiution so much. What they've been
able to do, and the way that they've been able to fool the citizens of this
country...I don't care what happens to me. I've got to stop this. I've got to
do everything in my power to stop this.
Randy: Well, I'm not one of I don't know, for lack of a better term,
I'm not one of these wild-eyed loonies that runs around doing the rest of it.
As I told Col. Brown, "Look, I'm just a guy. I work in the computer
industry; I make modems. I travel around the world, I talk computer
systems. I mean, that's about it. Okay? I mean, yeah, I like to go shoot my
gun at the target range, and I'm an armchair commando, and I like reading
Soldier of Fortune magazine, and vicariously living adventures through
other people. So I'm not a holy roller. I mean, I have my own belief in God,
but I don't go around espousing it to everybody. And I'm not one of these
esoterics that run around talking about Maitreya and the Hinduisms and
all the rest of this, the chakras and all the rest of it. I know those people are
out there, I know they exist. As a matter of fact, I'm dating one of them, but
that's her beliefs and if she wants to believe that, that's fine."
Bill: Sure.
Randy: When this came in out of the blue, I've had a lot of thought in
my own head. You've galvanized a lot of them, especially the text where
you were talking about the sudden influx of media and television on an
alien presence among us in our society. I've felt that for almost two years,
and I could never really verbalize it.
Bill: Oh yeah, they're desensitizing us so that when it happens, all of
the things that they feared in the beginning that led to all the lies that led to
all the crimes won't cause what they feared. It won't cause the collapse of
our society and our culture and our religions. It will affect the economy,
though, quite a bit.
Randy: The economy is out the door, anyway...
Bill: Yeah, and that may be what they're waiting for, to change into a
cashless society so it can't have that kind of effect.
Randy: Yeah, there was an awful lot, you see. I have my sister and my
mother are both, let's say God's Green Berets. You know, they're super
religious types "God bless you, come to church" type thing, and at their
urging I went through the Bible and I read it. I read it four or five times,
and every time I came back with it I kept seeing different things. And I
192 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
have my own views on life and on a variety of things. And until I read your
material, it never really galvanized me into thinking things. Now, like I
said, the only thing I can really relate to you is what I experienced during
the Apollo-Soyuz shot.
Bill: That's great! Because what you experienced there is just confir-
mation of what I've been telling everybody. There is a secret space program.
There is a control group called MAJORITY. The President is called
MAJESTY in connection with these things. What you were getting, the
MAJESTY advisory messages, were to keep the President updated.
Randy: You know, the real funny part about all of that is the guy who
would come in and was using our facility. His name was Logan, Mr.
Logan. His title was supposed to be communications coordinator, but I
never seen him do a damn thing except come into that room, read traffic,
draft a reply, and then go back up to CIC. Now, we were in what was called
the GENSER, general service side of communications. We weren't the
spooks. The spooks had their own little quarters over on the other side of
the ship.
Bill: Sure.
Randy: But we did have the KL-47 and the rest of the NASA types.
The civilian types would come down to we had a message window in
the hallway and they'd come up and they'd hand their outgoing messages
in the window and they would go out on the general service circuits. The
only stuff that we handled was the, was traffic for MAJORITY CONTROL
with MAJESTY advisories and that was it. And a lot of it, like I said, was a
lot of textual data. I mean, there was tons of text, and it was all couched in
techno-babble that I didn't really understand. But I do remember the
acronym IACs everywhere. I mean completely repetitious.
Bill: Oh yeah.
Randy: You know, thaf s as much as I can offer you.
Bill: Do you remember where the messages were sent for MAJORITY
CONTROL?
Randy: No. The location of MAJORITY CONTROL was never dis-
closed. The only thing I can assume is that it was somewhere north. The
ship was anchored well, we weren't anchored, we were at what was
called sea-anchor, which I am sure you are aware of. We were on an
east-west axis so that all of our antennas could be brought to bear on the
western horizon, because thaf s the way the spacecraft was coming around
The antenna that was assigned to my circuit was an antenna called an
RLPA or Rotating Log Periodic Antenna, which is a very, very directional
antenna, and it was pointed north.
Bill: What was north of you at that point?
Chapter Eleven Coup de Grace 193
Randy: Thule, Greenland.
Bill: Thule, Greenland! Okay, hmmmm, very interesting. Also, I'm
glad you saw the message about Nixon, because everybody thought surethat if anything was whacko, that was the whackiest thing that I said.
Randy: Actually, no. That one made complete sense, because thosedays surrounding Nixon's announcement you said that message wassent five days previous to his announced resignation. That five-day
period, if I remember my history correctly, was extremely turmoiled, and if
you go back to the New York Times and read in depth the political commentary
during those days, what you're going to find is that there was a
awful lot of turbulence. I mean, five days prior there were a lot of stepsbeing taken. It would not surprise me if that message was that message
would have been promulgated and sent five full days prior to the publicannouncement, because the public is always the last one to know. So Ifound that the most realistic of the things that were in here.
Bill: Fantastic! God is answering my prayers. Oh wow, it makes me
so happy. Listen Randall, I've been taping this whole phone conversation.
If you want me to destroy this tape, I will. The reason I do it is I never know
when somebody's going to say something that is important or not.
Randy: I have nothing to hide from you, Bill.
Bill: Okay, but I just want you to know I've never betrayed a source orused a person's name when they asked me not to. I've never used a tape ifthey asked me not to. If they asked me to destroy it, I've always done that.
I try to work with everybody in a manner that they're comfortable working
with, because my goal is not to embarrass or hurt anyone, if s to stop thisthing thaf s happening.
Randy: Well, you've got another recruit.
Bill: Fantastic!
Randy: Question?
Bill: Sure.
Randy: Who is Linda Howe?
Bill: Linda Moulton Howe is a TV producer who I don't remember
when it was, '78 or something like that, she made a film called "A Strange
Harvest" about the animal mutilations, the cattle mutilations...
Randy: Yeah, because in your notarized statement you make reference
to her.
Bill: Yes, she contacted me along with a whole bunch of other people,
but I tried to pick out the people who I thought were the most professional
and the most likely to stand up under scrutiny or attempts to discredit and
I figured she was one of those people, so...
Randy I think, I think where you're at right now with the data you
194 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
have is I mean, if s time to try to get it in front of people.
Bill: Yes, that's what I'm trying to do.
Randy: I'm in the process now of as a matter of fact, when you
called I was drafting the cover of a FAX that I'm sending to KGO Radio,
which is a local radio talk station. Its a clear-channel station; it's heard all
up and down the West Coast.
Bill: Great! Fantastic!
Randy: There's a moderator there named Ron Owens who I'm
sending this to him with a statement, "This is not being sent to you as a
joke. Ifs being sent to you as something that I think you should take a
minute and just read it." And I've asked him to contact you. And basically
I said, "Ron, if ten percent of this is true, then we're in trouble."
Bill: Right. Absolutely. And there's a lot...you know, when I give a
talk or something, someone will always stand up and say, "How do we
know that you're not just feeding us disinformation?" and I say, "Just think
about what you're saying. What I'm after is the truth. I'm telling you what
I saw in these documents and where my research has led me over the
intervening 17 years. Thaf s what I am imparting to you. I want you to go
and verify this or not verify it or prove it wrong or whatever you can do on
your own. And I'm perfectly willing to listen to anything that you have to
say, but just think about what you just said. If in fact I'm giving you
disinformation, then you're in worse trouble than you ever thought of. It
would be better if there are aliens, because if there's not aliens that means
this whole thing has been perpetrated by the Government for some pur-
pose that we don't even know about. What it really means is we got the
whole human establishment against us." And that really opens their eyes
because it's true.
Randy: You just kicked off another memory...
And that is another story. Note: Randy Terpstra called the Billy Goodman
Happening two days later, during the week ending November 4, 1989, andrepeated live on the air what he told me during this taped phone conversation.
On Sunday, November 5, 1989, I played the tape to an audience of ap-
proximately 800 people at Hollywood High School.
When President Nixon gave his farewell speech, he said he would tell the
American people the truth about UFOs. Like James Forrestal, Richard Nixon
found himself a prisoner on the mental ward of Bethesda Naval Hospital
Unlike Forrestal, Nixon survived. He has remained silent.

PERSPECTIVE
Many sources of information were used to research this chapter. I
originally wrote this piece as a research paper. It was first delivered at the
MUFON Symposium on July 2,1989, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Most of this
knowledge comes directly from, or is a result of my own research into the
TOP SECRET/MAJIC material which I saw and read between the years
1970 and 1973 as a member of the Intelligence Briefing Team of the Commander
in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. Since some of this information was
derived from sources that I cannot divulge for obvious reasons, and from
published sources which I cannot vouch for, this chapter must be termed a
hypothesis. I firmly believe that if aliens are real, this is the true nature of
the Beast. It is the only scenario that has been able to bind all the diverse
elements. It is the only scenario that answers all the questions and places
the various fundamental mysteries in an arena that makes sense. It is the
only explanation which shows the chronology of events and demonstrates
that the chronologies, when assembled, match perfectly. The bulk of this I
believe to be true if the material that I viewed in the Navy is authentic. As
for the rest, I do not know, and that is why this paper must be termed a
hypothesis. Most historic and current available evidence supports this
hypothesis.
THE SECRET GOVERNMENT
During the years following World War II the government of the United
States was confronted with a series of events which were to change beyond
prediction its future and with it the future of humanity. These events were
so incredible that they defied belief. A stunned President Truman and his
top military commanders found themselves virtually impotent after hav-
ing just won the most devastating and costly war in history.
The United States had developed, used, and was the only nation on
earth in possession of the atomic bomb. This new weapon had the potential
to destroy any enemy, and even the Earth itself. At that time the United
States had the best economy, the most advanced technology, the highest
standard of living, exerted the most influence, and fielded the largest and
most powerful military forces in history. We can only imagine the con-
fusion and concern when the informed elite of the United States Govern-
ment discovered that an alien spacecraft piloted by insectlike beings from
totally incomprehensible culture had crashed in the desert of New Mexico.
Between January 1947 and December 1952 at least 16 crashed or
downed alien craft, 65 alien bodies, and 1 live alien were recovered. An
additional alien craft had exploded and nothing was recovered from that
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 197
incident. Of these events, 13 occurred within the borders of the United
States, not including the craft which disintegrated in the air. Of these 13, 1
was in Arizona, 11 were in New Mexico, and 1 was in Nevada. Three
occurred in foreign countries. Of those, 1 was in Norway and the last 2
were in Mexico. Sightings of UFOs were so numerous that serious inves-
tigation and debunking of each report became impossible, utilizing the
existing intelligence assets.
An alien craft was found on February 13, 1948, on a mesa near Aztec,
New Mexico. Another craft was located on March 25, 1948, in White Sands
Proving Ground. It was 100 feet in diameter. A total of 17 alien bodies
were recovered from those two crafts. Of even greater significance was the
discovery of a large number of human body parts stored within both of
these vehicles. A demon had reared its head and paranoia quickly took
hold of everyone then "in the know." The Secret lid immediately became a
Top Secret lid and was screwed down tight. The security blanket was even
tighter than that imposed upon the Manhattan Project. In the coming years
these events were to become the most closely guarded secrets in the history
of the world.
A special group of America's top scientists were organized under the
name Project SIGN in December 1947 to study the phenomenon. The
whole nasty business was contained. Project SIGN evolved into Project
GRUDGE in December 1948. A low-level collection and disinformation
project named BLUE BOOK was formed under GRUDGE. Sixteen
volumes were to come out of GRUDGE. "Blue Teams" were put together
to recover the crashed disks and dead or live aliens. The Blue Teams were
later to evolve into Alpha Teams under Project POUNCE.
During these early years the United States Air Force and the Central
intelligence Agency exercised complete control over the "alien secret." In
fact, the CIA was formed by Presidential Executive Order first as the
Central Intelligence Group for the express purpose of dealing with the
alien presence. Later the National Security Act was passed, establishing it
as the Central Intelligence Agency.
The National Security Council was established to oversee the intelligence
community and especially the alien endeavor. A series of National
Security Council memos and Executive orders removed the CIA from the
sole task of gathering foreign intelligence and slowly but thoroughly "legalized"
direct action in the form of covert activities at home and abroad.
On December 9,1947, Truman approved issuance of NSC-4, entitled
"Coordination of Foreign Intelligence Information Measures" at the urging
of Secretaries Marshall, Forrestal, Patterson, and the director of the State
Department's Policy Planning Staff, George Kennan.
198 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
The Foreign and Military Intelligence, Book 1, "Final Report of the Select
Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence
Activities," United States Senate, 94th Congress, 2nd Session, Report No.
94-755, April 26,1976, p. 49, states: "This directive empowered the Secretary
of State to coordinate overseas information activities designed to
counter communism."
A Top Secret annex to NSC-4, NSC-4A, instructed the director of
Central Intelligence to undertake covert psychological activities in pursuit
of the aims set forth in NSC-4. The initial authority given the CIA for
covert operations under NSC-4A did not establish formal procedures for
either coordinating or approving these operations. It simply directed the
DCI to "undertake covert actions and to ensure, through liaison with State
and Defense, that the resulting operations were consistent with American
policy."
Later NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 were to supersede NSC-4 and NSC-4A
and expand the covert abilities even further. The Office of Policy Coordina-
tion (OPC) was chartered to carry out an expanded program of covert
activities. NSC-10/1 and NSC-10/2 validated illegal and extralegal prac-
tices and procedures as being agreeable to the national security leadership.
The reaction was swift. In the eyes of the intelligence community "no
holds were barred." Under NSC-10/1 an Executive Coordination Group
was established to review, but not approve, covert project proposals. The
ECG was secretly tasked to coordinate the alien projects. NSC-10/1 & /2
were interpreted to mean that no one at the top wanted to know about
anything until it was over and successful.
These actions established a buffer between the President and the infor-
mation. It was intended that this buffer serve as a means for the President
to deny knowledge if leaks divulged the true state of affairs. This buffer
was used in later years for the purpose of effectively isolating succeeding
Presidents from any knowledge of the alien presence other than what the
Secret Government and the intelligence community wanted them to know.
NSC-10/2 established a study panel which met secretly and was made up
of the scientific minds of the day. The study panel was not called MJ-12.
Another NSC memo, NSC-10/5 further outlined the duties of the study
panel. These NSC memos and secret Executive orders set the stage for the
creation of MJ-12 only four years later.
Secretary of Defense James Forrestal objected to the secrecy. He was a
very idealistic and religious man. He believed that the public should be
told. James Forrestal was also one of the first known abductees. When he
began to talk to leaders of the opposition party and leaders of the Congress
about the alien problem he was asked to resign by Truman. He expressed
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 199
his fears to many people. Rightfully, he believed that he was being
watched. This was interpreted by those who were ignorant of the facts as
paranoia. Forrestal later was said to have suffered a mental breakdown.
He was ordered to the mental ward of Bethesda Naval Hospital. In spite of
the fact that the Administration had no authority to have him committed,
the order was carried out. In fact, it was feared that Forrestal would begin
to talk again. He had to be isolated and discredited. His family and friends
were denied permission to visit. Finally, on May 21, 1949, Forrestal's
brother made a fateful decision. He notified authorities that he intended to
remove James from Bethesda on May 22. Sometime in the early morning of
May 22,1949, agents of the CIA tied a sheet around James Forrestal's neck,
fastened the other end to a fixture in his room, then threw James Forrestal
out the window. The sheet tore and he plummeted to his death. James
Forrestal's secret diaries were confiscated by the CIA and were kept in the
White House for many years. Due to public demand the diaries were
eventually rewritten and published in a sanitized version. The real diary
information was later furnished by the CIA in book form to an agent who
published the material as fiction. The name of the agent is Whitley Strieber
and the book is Majestic. James Forrestal became one of the first victims of
the cover-up.
The live alien that had been found wandering in the desert from the
1949 Roswell crash was named EBE. The name had been suggested by Dr.
Vannevar Bush and was short for Extraterrestrial Biological Entity. EBE
had a tendency to lie, and for over a year would give only the desired
answer to questions asked. Those questions which would have resulted in
an undesirable answer went unanswered. At some point during the
second year of captivity he began to open up. The information derived
from EBE was startling, to say the least. This compilation of his revelations
became the foundation of what would later be called the "Yellow Book."
Photographs were taken of EBE which, among others, I was to view years
later Project Grudge.
In late 1951 EBE became ill. Medical personnel had been unable to
determine the cause of EBE's illness and had no background from which to
draw. EBE's system was chlorophyll-based and he processed food into
energy much the same as plants. Waste material was excreted the same as
plants. Several experts were called in to study the illness. These specialists
included medical doctors, botanists, and entomologists. A botanist, Dr.
Guillermo Mendoza, was brought in to try and help him recover. Dr.
Mendoza worked to save EBE until June 2, 1952, when EBE died. Dr.
Mendoza became the expert on at least this type alien of biology. The
movie E.T. is the thinly disguised story of EBE.
200 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
In a futile attempt to save EBE and to gain favor with this technologi-
cally superior race, the United States began broadcasting a call for help
early in 1952 into the vast regions of space. The call went unanswered but
the project, dubbed SIGMA, continued as an effort of good faith.
President Truman created the supersecret National Security Agency
(NSA) by secret Executive order on November 4,1952. Its primary purpose
was to decipher the alien communications, language, and establish a
dialogue with the extraterrestrials. This most urgent task was a continuation
of the earlier effort. The secondary purpose of the NSA was to monitor
all communications and emissions from any and all electronic devices
worldwide for the purpose of gathering intelligence, both human and
alien, and to contain the secret of the alien presence. Project SIGMA was
successful.
The NSA also maintains communications with the Luna base and
other secret space programs. By executive order of the President, the NSA
is exempt from all laws which do not specifically name the NSA in the text
of the law as being subject to that law. That means that if the agency is not
spelled out in the text of any and every law passed by the Congress it is not
subject to that or those laws. The NSA now performs many other duties
and in fact is the premier agency within the intelligence network. Today
the NSA receives approximately 75% of the monies allotted to the intel-
ligence community. The old saying "where the money goes therein the
power resides" is true. The DCI today is a figurehead maintained as a
public ruse. The primary task of the NSA is still alien communications, but
now includes other extraterrestrial projects as well.
President Truman had been keeping our allies, including the Soviet
Union, informed of the developing alien problem. This had been done in
case the aliens turned out to be a threat to the human race. Plans were
formulated to defend the Earth in case of invasion. Great difficulty was
encountered in mamtaining international secrecy. It was decided that an
outside group was necessary to coordinate and control international efforts
in order to hide the secret from the normal scrutiny of governments by the
press. The result was the formation of a secret ruling body which became
known as the Bilderberg Group. The group was formed and met for the
first time in 1952. They were named after the first publicly known meeting
place, the Bilderberg Hotel. That public meeting took place in 1954. They
were nicknamed The Bilderbergers. The headquarters of this group is
Geneva, Switzerland. The Bilderbergers evolved into a secret world government
that now controls everything. The United Nations was then, and
is now, an international joke.
Beginning in 1953 a new president occupied the White House. He was
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 201
a man used to a structured staff organization with a chain of command.
His method was to delegate authority and rule by committee. He made
major decisions, but only when his advisors were unable to come to a
consensus. His normal method was to read through or listen to several
alternatives and then approve one. Those who worked closely with him
have stated that his favorite comment was, "Just do whatever it takes." He
spent a lot of time on the golf course. This was not unusual for a man who
had been career Army with the ultimate position of Supreme Allied Commander
during the war, a post which had earned him five stars. The
President was General of the Army Dwight David Eisenhower.
During his first year in office, 1953, at least 10 more crashed discs were
recovered along with 26 dead and 4 live aliens. Of the 10,4 were found in
Arizona, 2 in Texas, 1 in New Mexico, 1 in Louisiana, 1 in Montana, and 1
in South Africa. There were hundreds of sightings.
Eisenhower knew that he had to wrestle and beat the alien problem.
He knew that he could not do it by revealing the secret to the Congress,
Early in 1953 the new President turned to his friend and fellow member of
the Council on Foreign Relations Nelson Rockefeller. Eisenhower and
Rockefeller began planning the secret structure of alien-task supervision,
which was to become a reality within one year. The idea for MJ-12 was
thus born.
It was Nelson's uncle Winthrop Aldrich who had been crucial in
convincing Eisenhower to run for President. The whole Rockefeller family
and with them, the Rockefeller empire, had solidly backed Ike. Eisen
hower belonged heart and soul to the Council on Foreign Relations and the
Rockefeller family. Asking Rockefeller for help with the alien problem was
to be the biggest mistake Eisenhower ever made for the future of the
United States and maybe for humanity.
Within one week of Eisenhower's election he had appointed Nelson
Rockefeller chairman of a Presidential Advisory Committee on Government
Organization. Rockefeller was responsible for planning the reorganization
of the government, something he had dreamed of for many
years. New Deal programs went into one single cabinet position called the
Department of Health, Education and Welfare. When the Congress approved
the new Cabinet position in April 1953, Nelson was named to the
post of Undersecretary to Oveta Culp Hobby.
In 1953 astronomers discovered large objects in space which were
tracked moving toward the Earth. It was first believed that they were
asteroids. Later evidence proved that the objects could only be spaceships.
Project SIGMA intercepted alien radio communications. When the objects
reached the Earth they took up a very high geosynchronous orbit around
202 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
the equator. There were several huge ships, and their actual intent was
unknown. Project SIGMA and a new project, PLATO, through radio com-
munications using the computer binary language, were able to arrange a
landing that resulted in face-to-face contact with alien beings from another
planet. This landing took place in the desert. The movie, Close Encounters
of the Third Kind is a fictionalized version of the actual events. Project
PLATO was tasked with establishing diplomatic relations with this race of
space aliens. A hostage was left with us as a pledge that they would return
and formalize a treaty.
In the meantime, a race of humanoid aliens landed at Homestead Air
Force Base in Florida and successfully communicated with the U.S. government.
This group warned us against the race orbiting the equator and
offered to help us with our spiritual development. They demanded that
we dismantle and destroy our nuclear weapons as the major condition.
They refused to exchange technology citing that we were spiritually unable
to handle the technology we already possessed. These overtures were
rejected on the grounds that it would be foolish to disarm in the face of such
an uncertain future. There was no track record to read from. It may have
been an unfortunate decision.
A third landing at Muroc, now Edwards Air Force Base, took place in
1954. The base was closed for three days and no one was allowed to enter
or leave during that time. The historical event had been planned in advance.
Details of a treaty had been agreed upon. Eisenhower arranged to
be in Palm Springs on vacation. On the appointed day the President was
spirited to the base. The excuse was given to the press that he was visiting
a dentist. Witnesses to the event have stated that three UFOs flew over the
base and then landed. Antiaircraft batteries were undergoing live-fire
training and the startled personnel actually fired at the crafts as they
passed overhead. Luckily, the shells missed and no one was injured.
President Eisenhower met with the aliens on February 20,1954, and a
formal treaty between the alien nation and the United States of America
was signed. We then received our first alien ambassador from outer space.
He was the hostage that had been left at the first landing in the desert. His
name and title was His Omnipotent Highness Crlll or Krlll, pronounced
Crill or Krill. In the American tradition of disdain for royal titles he was
secretly called Original Hostage Crlll, or Krlll. Shortly after this meeting
President Eisenhower suffered a heart attack.
Four others present at the meeting were Franklin Allen of the Hearst
newspapers, Edwin Nourse of Brookings Institute, Gerald Light of meta-
physical research fame, and Catholic Bishop MacIntyre of Los Angeles.
Their reaction was judged as a microcosm of what the public reaction
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 203
might be. Based upon this reaction, it was decided that the public could
not be told. Later studies confirmed the decision as sound.
An emotionally revealing letter written by Gerald Light spells it out in
chilling detail: "My dear Friend: I have just returned from Muroc. The
report is true devastatingly true! I made the journey in company with
Franklin Allen of the Hearst papers and Edwin Nourse of Brookings In-
stitute (Truman's erstwhile financial adviser) and Bishop Maclntyre of L.A.
(confidential names for the present, please.) When we were allowed to
enter the restricted section (after about six hours in which we were checked
on every possible item, event, incident and aspect of our personal and
public lives), I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end
with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a
state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realized that their own
world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description. The
reality of "other-plane" aeroforms is now and forever removed from the
realms of speculation and made a rather painful part of the consciousness
of every responsible scientific and political group. During my two days'
visit I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and
handled by our Air Force officials with the assistance and permission of
the Etherians!
"I have no words to express my reactions. It has finally happened. It
is now a matter of history. President Eisenhower, as you may already
know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm
Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific
conflict between the various "authorities" and go directly to the people via
radio and television if the impasse continues much longer. From what I
could gather, an official statement to the country is being prepared for
delivery about the middle of May."
We know that no such announcement was ever made. The silence-
control group won the day. We also know that two more ships, for which
we can find no witnesses, either landed sometime after the three or were
already at the base before the three landed. Gerald Light specifically states
that five ships were present and were undergoing study by the Air Force.
His metaphysical experience is evident in that he calls the entities
"Etherians." Gerald Light capitalized "Etherians," calling attention to the
fact that these beings might have been viewed as gods by Mr. Light.
The alien emblem was known as the "Trilateral insignia" and was
displayed on the craft and worn on the alien uniforms. Both of these
landings and the second meeting were filmed. These films exist today.
The treaty stated that the aliens would not interfere in our affairs and
we would not interfere in theirs. We would keep their presence on earth a
204 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
secret. They would furnish us with advanced technology and would help
us in our technological development. They would not make any treaty
with any other Earth nation. They could abduct humans on a limited and
periodic basis for the purpose of medical examination and monitoring of
our development, with the stipulation that the humans would not be
harmed, would be returned to their point of abduction, would have no
memory of the event, and that the alien nation would furnish Majesty
Twelve with a list of all human contacts and abductees on a regularly
scheduled basis.
It was agreed that each nation would receive the ambassador of the
other for as long as the treaty remained in force. It was further agreed that
the alien nation and the United States would exchange 16 personnel with
the purpose of learning of each other. The alien "guests'' would remain on
earth. The human "guests" would travel to the alien point of origin for a
specified period of time, then return, at which point a reverse exchange
would be made. A reenactment of this event was dramatized in the movie
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. A tipoff to who works for whom can be
determined by the fact that Dr. J. Allen Hynek served as the technical
advisor for the film. I noticed that the Top Secret report containing the
official version of the truth of the alien question, entitled Project GRUDGE,
which I read while in the Navy, was co-authored by Lt. Col. Friend and Dr.
J. Allen Hynek, who was cited as a CIA asset attached to Project GRUDGE
Dr. Hynek, the one who debunked many legitimate UFO incidents
when he functioned as the scientific member of the very public Project
BLUEBOOK. Dr. Hynek is the man responsible for the infamous "it was
only swamp gas" statement.
It was agreed that bases would be constructed underground for the
use of the alien nation and that two bases would be constructed for the joint
use of the alien nation and the United States Government. Exchange of
technology would take place in the jointly occupied bases. These alien
bases would be constructed under Indian reservations in the Four Corners
area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, and one would be
constructed in an area known as Dreamland. Dreamland was built in the
Mojave desert near, or in, a place called Yucca. I cannot remember if it was
Yucca Valley, Yucca Flat, or Yucca Proving Ground, but Yucca Valley is what
I always seem to want to say. More UFO sightings and incidents occur in
the Mojave desert of California than any other place in the world. So many,
in fact, that no one even bothers to make reports. Anyone who ventures
into the desert to talk to the residents will be astounded by the frequency of
activity and with the degree of acceptance demonstrated by those who
have come to regard UFOs as normal.
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 205
All alien areas are under complete control of the Naval Department,
according to the documents that I read. All personnel who work in these
complexes receive their checks from the Navy through a subcontractor.
The checks never make reference to the government or the Navy. Construction
of the bases began immediately, but progress was slow. Large
amounts of money were made available in 1957. Work continued on the
Yellow Book.
Project REDLIGHT was formed and experimentation in test-flying
alien craft was begun in earnest. A super-Top Secret facility was built at
Groom Lake in Nevada in the midst of the weapons test range. It was
code-named Area 51. The installation was placed under the Department of
the Navy and all personnel required a Q clearance as well as Executive
presidential, called MAJESTIC) approval. This is ironic, due to the fact
that the President of the United States does not have clearance to visit the
site. The alien base and exchange of technology actually took place in an
area code-named Dreamland above ground, and the underground portion
was dubbed "the Dark Side of the Moon." According to the documenta-
tion that I read, at least 600 alien beings actually resided full time at this site
along with an unknown number of scientists and CIA personnel. Due to
the fear of implantation, only certain people were allowed to interface with
the alien beings, and those personnel were and are watched and monitored
continuously.
The Army was tasked to form a supersecret organization to furnish
security for the alien-tasked projects. This organization became the National
Reconnaissance Organization based at Fort Carson, Colorado. The
specific teams trained to secure the projects were called Delta. Lt. Col.
James "Bo" Gritz was a Delta Force Commander.
A second project code-named SNOWBIRD was promulgated to ex-
plain away any sightings of the REDLIGHT crafts as being Air Force
experiments. The SNOWBIRD crafts were manufactured using conven-
tional technology and were flown for the press on several occasions.
Project SNOWBIRD was also used to debunk legitimate public sightings of
alien craft (UFOs to the public, IACs to those in the know). Project SNOW-
BIRD was very successful, and reports from the public declined steadily
until recent years.
A multimillion-dollar Secret fund was organized and kept by the
Military Office of the White House. This fund was used to build over 75
deep underground facilities. Presidents who asked were told the fund was
used to build deep underground shelters for the President in case of war.
Only a few were built for the President. Millions of dollars were funneled
through this office to Majesty Twelve and then out to the contractors. It
206 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
was used to build Top Secret alien bases as well as Top Secret DUMB (Deep
Underground Military Bases) and the facilities promulgated by Alternative
2 throughout the nation. President Johnson used this fund to build a movie
theater and pave the road on his ranch. He had no idea of its true purpose.
The secret White House underground-construction fund was set up in
1957 by President Eisenhower. The funding was obtained from Congress
under the guise of "construction and maintenance of secret sites where the
President could be taken in case of military attack: Presidential Emergency
Sites." The sites are literally holes in the ground, deep enough to withstand
a nuclear blast, and are outfitted with state-of-the-art communications
equipment. To date there are more than 75 sites spread around the country
which were built using money from this fund. The Atomic Energy Com-
mission has built at least an additional 22 underground sites. See the
chapter on Mt. Weather.
The location and everything to do with these sites were and are considered
and treated as Top Secret. The money was and is in control of the
Military Office of the White House, and was and is laundered through so
circuitous a web that even the most knowledgeable spy or accountant
cannot follow it. As of 1980 only a few at the beginning and end of this web
knew what the money was for. At the beginning were Representative
George Mahon of Texas, the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee
and of its Defense Subcommittee; and Representative Robert Sikes
of Florida, chairman of the House Appropriations Military Construction
Subcommittee. Today it is rumored that House Speaker Jim Wright con-
trolled the money in Congress and that a power struggle removed him. At
the end of the line were the President, Majesty Twelve, the director of the
Military Office and a commander at the Washington Navy Yard.
The money was authorized by the Appropriations Committee, who
allocated it to the Department of Defense as a Top Secret item in the Army
construction program. The Army, however, could not spend it and in fact
did not even know what it was for. Authorization to spend the money was
in reality given to the Navy. The money was channeled to the Chesapeake
Division of the Navy Engineers, who did not know what it was for, either.
Not even the commanding officer, who was an admiral, knew what the
fund was to be used for. Only one man, a Navy commander who was
assigned to the Chesapeake Division but in reality was responsible only to
the Military Office of the White House, knew of the actual purpose,
amount, and ultimate destination of the Top Secret money. The total secre-
cy surrounding the fund meant that almost every trace of it could be made
to disappear by the very few people who controlled it. There has never
been and most likely never will be an audit of this secret money.
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 207
Large amounts of money were transferred from the Top Secret fund to
a location at Palm Beach, Florida, that belongs to the Coast Guard called
Peanut Island. The island is adjacent to property which was owned by
Joseph Kennedy. The money was said to have been used for landscaping
and general beautification. Some time ago a TV news special on the Kennedy
assassination told of a Coast Guard officer transferring money in a
briefcase to a Kennedy employee across this property line. Could this have
been a secret payment to the Kennedy family for the loss of their son John
F. Kennedy? The payments continued through the year 1967 and then
stopped. The total amount transferred is unknown and the actual use of
the money is unknown.
Meanwhile, Nelson Rockefeller changed positions again. This time he
was to take C. D. Jackson's old position, which had been called the Special
Assistant for Psychological Strategy. With Nelson's appointment the name
was changed to the Special Assistant for Cold War Strategy. This position
would evolve over the years into the same position Henry Kissinger was
ultimately to hold under President Nixon. Officially he was to give "advice
and assistance in the development of increased understanding and
coperation among all peoples." The official description was a smoke
screen, for secretly he was the Presidential Coordinator for the Intelligence
Community. In his new post Rockefeller reported directly, and solely, to
the President. He attended meetings of the Cabinet, the Council on Foreign
Economic Policy, and the National Security Council, which was the highest
policy-making body in the government.
Nelson Rockefeller was also given a second important job as the head
of the secret unit called the Planning Coordination Group, which was
formed under NSC 5412/1 in March 1955. The group consisted of different
ad hoc members, depending on the subject on the agenda. The basic
members were Rockefeller, a representative of the Department of Defense,
a representative of the Department of State, and the Director of Central
Intelligence. It was soon called the 5412 Committee or the Special Group.
NSC 5412/1 established the rule that covert operations were subject to
approval by an executive committee, whereas in the past these operations
were initiated solely on the authority of the Director of Central Intelligence.
By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5510, Eisenhower had preceded
NSC 5412/1 to establish a permanent committee (not ad hoc) to be
known as Majesty Twelve (MJ-12) to oversee and conduct all covert activities
concerned with the alien question. NSC 5412/1 was created to
explain the purpose of these meetings when Congress and the press became
curious.
Majesty Twelve was made up of Nelson Rockefeller, Director of Cen
208 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
tral Intelligence Allen Welsh Dulles, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles,
Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff Admiral Arthur W. Radford, Director of the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation J. Edgar Hoover, six men from the executive committee of the
Council on Foreign Relations known as the "Wise Men," six men from the
executive committee of the JASON Group, and Dr. Edward Teller.
The JASON Group is a secret scientific group formed during the
Manhattan Project and administered by the Mitre Corporation. The inner
core of the Council on Foreign Relations recruits its members from the
Skull & Bones and the Scroll & Key societies of Harvard and Yale. The Wise
Men are key members of the Council on Foreign Relations and also members
of a secret Order of the Quest known as the JASON Society.
There were 19 members of Majesty Twelve. The first rule of Majesty
Twelve was that no order could be given and no action could be taken
without a majority vote of twelve in favor, thus Majority Twelve. Orders
issued by Majesty Twelve became known as Majority Twelve directives.
This group was made up over the years of the top officers and direc-
tors of the Council on Foreign Relations and later the Trilateral Commission.
Gordon Dean, George Bush and Zbigniew Brzezinski were among
them. The most important and influential of the Wise Men were John
McCloy, Robert Lovett, Averell Harriman, Charles Bohlen, George Kennan,
and Dean Acheson. Their policies were to last well into the decade of the
'70s. It is significant that President Eisenhower as well as the first six
Majesty Twelve members from the Government were also members of the
Council on Foreign Relations. This gave control of the most secret and
powerful group in government to a special-interest club that was itself
controlled by the Illuminati.
Thorough researchers will soon discover that not all of the Wise Men
attended Harvard or Yale and not all of them were chosen for Skull & Bones
or Scroll & Key membership during their college years. You will be able to
quickly clear up the mystery by obtaining the book The Wise Men by Walter
Isaacson and Evan Thomas, Simon and Schuster, New York. Under il-
lustration #9 in the center of the book you will find the caption: "Lovett
with the Yale Unit, above far right, and on the beach: His initiation into
Skull and Bones came at an air base near Dunkirk." I have found that
members were chosen on an ongoing basis by invitation based upon merit
postcollege and were not confined to Harvard or Yale attendees only
Because of this fact, a complete list of Skull & Bones members can never be
compiled from the catalogues or addresses of the college segment of the
Russell Trust, also known as the Brotherhood of Death, or the Skull &
Bones. Now you know why it has been impossible to pinpoint the mem
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 209
bership either by number or by name. I believe that the answer lies hidden
in the CFR files, if files exist.
A chosen few were later initiated into the secret branch of the Order of
the Quest known as the JASON Society. They are all members of theCouncil on Foreign Relations and at that time were known as the Eastern
Establishment. This should give you a clue to the far-reaching and serious
nature of these most secret college societies. The society is alive and welltoday, but now includes members of the Trilateral Commission as well.
The Trilateralists existed secretly before 1973. The name of the TrilateralCommission was taken from the alien flag known as the Trilateral Insignia.
Majesty Twelve was to survive right up to the present day. Under Eisenhower
and Kennedy it was erroneously called the 5412 Committee, or more
correctly, the Special Group. In the Johnson administration it became the303 Committee because the name 5412 had been compromised in the bookThe Secret Government. Actually, NSC 5412/1 was leaked to the author to
hide the existence of NSC 5410. Under Nixon, Ford, and Carter it was
called the 40 Committee, and under Reagan it became the PI-40 Committee.
Over all those years only the name changed.
By 1955 it became obvious that the aliens had deceived Eisenhowerand had broken the treaty. Mutilated humans were being found along withmutilated animals across the United States. It was suspected that the alienswere not submitting a complete list of human contacts and abductees toMajesty Twelve and it was suspected that not all abductees had been
returned. The Soviet Union was suspected of interacting with them, andthis proved to be true. The aliens stated that they had been, and were then,
manipulating masses of people through secret societies, witchcraft, magic,
the occult, and religion. You must understand that this claim could also bea manipulation. After several Air Force combat air engagements with alien
craft it also became apparent that our weapons were no match againstthem.
In November 1955 NSC-5412/2 was issued establishing a study com
mittee to explore "all factors which are involved in the making and im
plementing of foreign policy in the nuclear age/' This was only a blanket
of snow that covered the real subject of study, the alien question.
By secret Executive Memorandum NSC 5511 in 1954, President Eisenhower
had commissioned the study group to "examine all the facts, evidence,
lies, and deception and discover the truth of the alien question."
NSC 5412/2 was only a cover that had become necessary when the press
began inquiring as to the purpose of regular meetings of such important
men. The first meetings began in 1954 and were called the Quantico
meetings because they met at the Quantico Marine Base. The study group
210 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
was made up solely of 35 members of the Council on Foreign Relations'secret study group. Dr. Edward Teller was invited to participate. Dr.
Zbigniew Brzezinski was the study director for the first 18 months. Dr.
Henry Kissinger was chosen as the group's study director for the second 18
months beginning in November 1955. Nelson Rockefeller was a frequent
visitor during the study.

The second-phase meetings were also held at the Marine base at
Quantico, Virginia, and the group became known as Quantico II. Nelson
Rockefeller built a retreat somewhere in Maryland for Majesty Twelve and
the study committee. It could be reached only by air. In this manner they
could meet away from public scrutiny. This secret meeting place is known
by the code name "the Country Club." Complete living, eating, recreation,
library, and meeting facilities exist at the location. (The Aspen Institute is
not the Country Club.)
The study group was publicly terminated in the later months of 1956.
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 211
Henry Kissinger wrote what was officially termed the results in 1957 as
Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, published for the Council on Foreign
Relations by Harper & Brothers, New York. In truth, the manuscript had
already been 80% written while Kissinger was at Harvard. The study
group continued, veiled in secrecy. A clue to the seriousness Kissinger
attached to the study can be found in statements by his wife and friends.
Many of them stated that Henry would leave home early each morning and
return late each night without speaking to anyone or responding to anyone.
It seemed as if he were in another world which held no room for
outsiders.
These statements are very revealing. The revelations of the alien
presence and actions during the study must have been a great shock.
Henry Kissinger was definitely out of character during this time. He
would never again be affected in this manner, no matter the seriousness of
any subsequent event. On many occasions he would work very late into
the night after having already put in a full day. This behavior eventually
led to divorce.
A major finding of the alien study was that the public could not be
told. It was believed that this would most certainly lead to economic
collapse, collapse of the religious structure, and national panic, which
could lead into anarchy. Secrecy thus continued. An offshoot of this finding
was that if the public could not be told, Congress could not be told.
Funding for the projects and research would have to come from outside the
Government. In the meantime money was to be obtained from the military
budget and from CIA confidential, nonappropriated funds.
Another major finding was that the aliens were using humans and
animals for a source of glandular secretions, enzymes, hormonal secretions,
blood plasma and possibly in genetic experiments. The aliens ex-
plained these actions as necessary to their survival. They stated that their
genetic structure had deteriorated and that they were no longer able to
reproduce. They stated that if they were unable to improve their genetic
structure, their race would soon cease to exist. We looked upon their
explanations with extreme suspicion. Since our weapons were literally
useless against the aliens, Majesty Twelve decided to continue friendly
diplomatic relations until such time as we were able to develop a technol-
ogy which would enable us to challenge them on a military basis. Over-
tures would have to be made to the Soviet Union and other nations to join
forces for the survival of humanity. In the meantime plans were developed
to research and construct two weapons systems using conventional and
nuclear technology, which would hopefully bring us to parity.
The results of the research were Projects JOSHUA and EXCALIBUR.
212 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
JOSHUA was a weapon captured from the Germans which was capable of
shattering 4-inch-thick armor plate at a range of two miles. It used aimed,
low-frequency sound waves, and it was believed that this weapon would
be effective against the alien craft and beam weapons. EXCALIBUR was a
weapon carried by missile not to rise above 30,000 feet above ground level
(AGL), not to deviate from designated target more than 50 meters, able to
would penetrate "1,000 meters of tufa, hard-packed soil such as that found
in New Mexico," carry a one-megaton warhead, and intended for use in
destroying the aliens in their underground bases. JOSHUA was developed
successfully but never used, to my knowledge. EXCALIBUR was not
pushed until recent years and now, we are told, there is an unprecedented
effort to develop this weapon. The public would be told that EXCALIBUR
would be needed to take out Soviet underground command posts. We
know that is not true because one rule of war is that you try not to destroy
the leaders. They are needed either to unconditionally surrender or to
negotiate terms. Leaders are also needed to ensure peaceful transition of
power and the compliance of the populace to all negotiated or dictated
terms.
The events at Fatima in the early part of the century were scrutinized.
On the suspicion that it was alien manipulation, an intelligence operation
was put into motion to penetrate the secrecy surrounding the event. The
United States utilized its Vatican moles and soon obtained the entire Vati-
can study, which included the prophecy. This prophecy stated that if man
did not turn from evil and place himself at the feet of Christ the planet
would self-destruct and the events described in the book of Revelations
would indeed come to pass. The prophecy demanded that Russia be
consecrated to the Sacred Heart. It stated that a child would be born who
would unite the world with a plan for world peace and a false religion. The
people would discern that he was evil and was indeed the Anti-Christ
World War III would begin in the Middle East with an invasion of Israel by
a United Arab nation using conventional weapons, which would culminate
in a nuclear holocaust. Most of the life on this planet would suffer horribly
and die as a result. The return of Christ would occur shortly thereafter.
When the aliens were confronted with this finding they confirmed that
it was true. The aliens explained that they had created us through genetic
manipulation in a laboratory. They stated that they had manipulated the
human race through religion, satanism, witchcraft, magic, and the occult.
They further explained that they were capable of time travel, and the
events would indeed come to pass if the conditions were not met. Later
exploitation of alien technology by the United States and the Soviet Union,
utilizing time travel in a project named RAINBOW, confirmed the proph
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 213
ecy. The aliens showed a hologram, which they claimed was the actual
crucifixion of Christ. The Government filmed the hologram. We did not
know whether to believe them. Were they using our GENUINE religions
to manipulate us? Or were they indeed the source of our religions with
which they had been manipulating us all along? Or was this the beginning
scenario of the genuine END TIMES and the RETURN OF CHRIST which
had been predicted in the Bible? I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER.
A symposium was held in 1957 which was attended by some of the
great scientific minds then living. They reached the conclusion that by, or
shortly after, the year 2000 the planet WOULD self-destruct due to in
creased population and man's exploitation of the environment WITHOUT
ANY HELP FROM GOD OR THE ALIENS.
By secret Executive order of President Eisenhower, the JASON Scholars
were ordered to study this scenario and make recommendations from
their findings. The JASON Society CONFIRMED the finding of the scientistts
and made three recommendations called ALTERNATIVES 1,2, and 3.
Alternative 1 was to use nuclear devices to blast holes in the stratosphere
from which the heat and pollution could escape into space. They
would then change the human cultures from that of exploitation into
cultures of environmental protection. Of the three this was decided to be
the least likely to succeed due to the inherent nature of man and the
additional damage the nuclear explosions would themselves create. The
existence of a hole in the ozone layer may indicate that Alternative 1 might
have been attempted. This is, however, only conjecture.
Alternative 2 was to build a vast network of underground cities and
tunnels in which a select representation of all cultures and occupations
would survive and carry on the human race. The rest of humanity would
be left to fend for themselves on the surface of the planet. We know that
these facilities have been built and are ready and waiting for the chosen few
to be notified.
Alternative 3 was to exploit the alien and conventional technology in
order for a select few to leave the earth and establish colonies in outer
space. I am not able to either confirm or deny the existence of "batch
consignments" of human slaves, which would be used for the manual
labor as a part of the plan. The Moon, code-named ADAM, was the object
of primary interest, followed by the planet Mars, code-named EVE. I am
now in possession of official NASA photographs of one of the moon bases.
I believe that the Mars colony is also a reality.
As a delaying action, ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES included birth
control, sterilization, and the introduction of deadly microbes to control or
slow the growth of the Earth's population. AIDS is only ONE result of
214 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
these plans. It was decided BY THE ELITE that since the population must
be reduced and controlled, it would be in the best interest of the human
race to rid ourselves of the undesirable elements of our society. Specific
targeted populations included BLACKS, HISPANICS, and HOMO-
SEXUALS. The joint U.S. and Soviet leadership dismissed Alternative 1
but ordered work to begin on Alternatives 2 and 3 virtually at the same
time.
In 1959 the Rand Corporation hosted a Deep Underground Construc-
tion Symposium. In the symposium report, machines are pictured and
described which could bore a tunnel 45 feet in diameter at the rate of 5 feet
per hour in 1959. It also displays pictures of huge tunnels and underground
vaults containing what appear to be complex facilities and possibly
even cities. It appears that the previous five years of all-out underground
construction had made significant progress by that time.
The ruling powers decided that one means of funding the alien-connected
and other "black" projects was to corner the illegal drug market.
The English and French had established a historical precedent when they
exploited the opium trade in the Far East and used it to fill their coffers and
gain a solid foothold in China and Viet Nam, respectively.
A young ambitious member of the Council on Foreign Relations was
approached. His name is George Bush, who at the time was the president
and CEO of the offshore division of Zapata Oil, based in Texas. Zapata Oil
was experimenting with the new technology of offshore drilling. It was
correctly thought that the drugs could be shipped from South America to
the offshore platforms by fishing boat, to be taken from there to shore by
the normal transportation used for supplies and personnel. By this method
no customs or law enforcement agency would subject the cargo to search.
George Bush agreed to help, and organized the operation in conjunction
with the CIA. The plan worked better than anyone had dreamed. It
has since expanded worldwide. There are now many other methods of
bringing the illegal drugs into the country. It must always be remembered
that George Bush began the sale of drugs to our children. The CIA now
controls most of the world's illegal drug markets.
The official space program was boosted by President Kennedy in his
inaugural address when he mandated that the United States put a man on
the Moon before the end of the decade. Although innocent in its conception,
this mandate enabled those in charge to funnel vast amounts of
money into black projects and conceal the REAL space program from the
American people. A similar program in the Soviet Union served the same
purpose. In fact, a joint alien, United States, and Soviet Union base existed
on the Moon at the very moment Kennedy spoke the words.
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 215
On May 22,1962, a space probe landed on Mars and confirmed the
existence of an environment which could support life. Not long afterward
the construction of a colony on the planet Mars began in earnest. Today I
believe a colony exists on Mars populated by specially selected people
from different cultures and occupations taken from all over the Earth. A
public charade of antagonism between the Soviet Union and the United
States has been maintained over all these years in order to fund projects in
the name of national defense when in fact we are the closest allies.
At some point President Kennedy discovered portions of the truth
concerning the drugs and the aliens. He issued an ultimatum in 1963 to
Majesty Twelve. President Kennedy assured them that if they did not clean
up the drug problem, he would. He informed Majesty Twelve that he
intended to reveal the presence of aliens to the American people within the
following year, and ordered a plan developed to implement his decision,
President Kennedy was not a member of the Council on Foreign Relations
and knew nothing of Alternative 2 or Alternative 3. (Although some
researchers claim JFK was a member of the CFR, I can find no legitimate list
with his name upon it.) Internationally, the operations were supervised by
the Bilderberg elite committee known as the Policy Committee. In the
United States they were supervised by the executive committee of the CFR
and in the Soviet Union by its sister organization.
President Kennedy's decision struck fear into the hearts of those in
charge. His assassination was ordered by the Policy Committee and the
order was carried out by agents in Dallas. President John F. Kennedy was
murdered by the Secret Service agent who drove his car in the motorcade
and the act is plainly visible in the Zapruder film. WATCH THE DRIVER
AND NOT KENNEDY WHEN YOU VIEW THE FILM. All of the witnesses
who were close enough to the car to see William Greer shoot Kennedy
were themselves all murdered within two years of the event. The
Warren Commission was a farce, and Council on Foreign Relations mem-
bers made up the majority of its panel. They succeeded in snowing the
American people.
Many other patriots who attempted to reveal the alien secret have also
been murdered throughout the intervening years. At the present time over
200 material witnesses or people actually involved with the assassination
are dead. The odds against this happening are so high that no one has been
able to calculate them. The odds against the first 18 to die within two years
of the assassination were calculated at one hundred thousand trillion to one.

216 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
In December 19881 had a phone conversation during which I told John
Lear what I had seen in the Navy concerning the Kennedy assassination. I
told him that the Top Secret documents stated that the act was plainly
visible in a film withheld from the public. I told John that I had been
looking for a film that showed Greer shoot JFK for 16 years but had not
found one. I was shocked and very pleasantly surprised when John asked
me, "Would you like to see it?" I, of course, replied in the affirmative and
John invited Annie and me to his home in Las Vegas. We spent four days
with John. He not only showed me the film but gave me a video copy. I
showed the video whenever I spoke to a group of people. The film is titled
Dallas Revisited, John told me that he obtained it from a CIA acquaintance
whom he was not at liberty to name. I later found out the originator of that
version of the Zapruder film was Lars Hansson. John Lear was showing
the film at every meeting that he conducted.
Shortly after Lear gave me a copy of the film, Lars Hansson called and
asked if he could drop by to meet with me at my home in Fullerton,
California. I told him he could and asked him to bring a better copy of the
film if he had one. Lars said that he would. He stated that he would also
bring a film on a man named Bo Gritz, of whom I had never heard. Mr.
Hansson informed me that he had made the video for Bo Gritz and John
Lear and that both were using it in their lectures. I found out much later
that Bo Gritz was selling the tape for $10 per copy.
Lars came to the house, brought the films on videotape and we spoke
for about an hour. His main purpose was to tell me that he wanted me to
expose people to the film but did not want me to connect him to the film in
any manner. I agreed not to divulge the source and I kept my word. I
began to use the tape in my lectures. When I found out that Bo Gritz was
making it available, I bowed to public pressure and also made it available.
Some time later I read an L.A.-based newsletter (forgot the name) in
which Lars Hansson stated that he did not know that I had the film and did
not know that I was showing it at lectures. Hansson stated in the newsletter
that he was at my Hollywood High lecture on November 5,1989, and
that he tried to protest my use of it during the question-and-answer period
but that he never had a chance to be recognized. We videotaped that event,
and at the end I asked anyone with questions or comments to walk to a
microphone that we had placed in the aisle. I have examined every inch of
that videotape and Lars Hansson never got up from his seat, nor did he
ever raise his hand, nor did he attempt in any way to be recognized.
Lars later called me again and asked me not to use his voice on the
tape, his voice where he says with no hesitation or qualification what
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 217
soever, as he narrates the videotape, "The driver of the car turns with his
left arm over his right shoulder with a pistol and fires. You see the .45
automatic, .45-caliber nickel-plated automatic weapon in his left hand,
He's firing over his right shoulder; you see it in relief. You see his head
pointing backwards towards the President. In this enhanced close-up you
see the impact of the bullet upon the President. The force of the shot drives
him violently backward against the back of the seat. You see Mrs. Kennedy
react in horror." Then later in the film Lars Hansson makes this statement:
"You can clearly see his [the driver's] head turning and his arm, and the
weapon extending into view over his right shoulder." I agreed not to use
his voice. In subsequent lectures I showed the tape with no audio. As it
turned out, people were able to see it better with no narration.
It is important that you understand the above, because in the late
summer of 1990, after I had been showing the film for over a year and a
half, Lars Hansson began to show up on radio proclaiming that Greer, the
driver, did not shoot the President. Lars Hansson showed up at my fall
1990 Beverly Hills High School lecture and disrupted the lecture, yelling
out taunts and otherwise making an ass out of himself. When the lecture
ended he accosted people in the lobby and, along with David Lifton,
attempted to convince members of the audience that they didn't really see
Greer shoot Kennedy. To their credit most of the audience told Hansson
and Lifton to stick it where the sun don't shine. Once people see it with
their own eyes they can no longer be fooled. Hansson, Lifton, Grodin, and
the other agents of the Secret Government are running out of time. Ameri-
cans are catching on to the scam. I shudder to think what will happen to
these people when Americans finally get angry. Do not forget that Lear
informed me that his source for the film was a CIA agent who later turned
out to be Lars Hansson.
Hansson later claimed that I violated his copyright. He had no copyright.
Hansson himself had violated someone's copyright by making the
film and giving it to me, Lear, and Gritz. I didn't and still don't give a
damn about copyright on THIS particular film. If I did, no one would ever
know who really killed our President.
Bo Gritz stated on radio that he felt exactly the same way. Hansson
never attacked Lear or Gritz, who still show the tape, and Gritz still makes
it available. I wonder why? Are Lear, Hansson and Gritz working
together?
Robert Grodin then entered the picture. He publicly challenged me to
appear and debate him. He claimed that he had a copy of the Zapruder
film showing that Greer never took his hands off the wheel of the car.
Grodin is an active secret government agent whose job it is to confuse the
218 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
public and perpetuate the cover-up.
I called Bob Grodin and accepted his challenge. I invited him to
appear with me at Beverly Hills High School and show his film. I would
show my film. The audience would decide. He refused. He refused
because he knows what I know, that the audience would boo him out of
town. Grodin knows that Greer shot Kennedy because he is part of the
cover-up.
Bob Grodin is the same Bob Grodin who claims to be the world's
foremost independent photo-interpretation expert. Bob Grodin has NO
photographic education whatsoever. He has never worked with photog-
raphy. Bob Grodin has never been a photographic interpreter in his life.
He has been lying to the public about his credentials for all these years and
no one even checked; not even Congress checked his credentials when they
hired him. Do you really think that was an accident? I HAVE A DEGREE
IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Bob Grodin is the same Bob Grodin who was hired by the House Select
Committee on Assassinations in 1976. He is the same Bob Grodin who
blatantly lied to the committee and told them that the driver, William Greer,
never took his hands off the wheel. His job is to write books and confuse
you. His job is to maintain the position that the government lied and that
there was a conspiracy. His job is also to prevent you from knowing the
truth about who did kill the President. You cannot welcome the New World
Order if you have faith in your government. You WILL have faith in your
government if you learn that Greer killed Kennedy on orders of the Illuminati
and that it had nothing to do with the legal, Constitutional
government. Did you know that the man who was in charge of the Secret
Service at the time of the assassination became the man in charge of
security for the Rockefeller family upon his retirement? Well, now you
know. You should also know that Bob Grodin is a friend of Leslie Watkins,
and it is Bob Grodin's name that Watkins uses as the alias of the astronaut
cited in Alternative 003. Did you know that when Ricky White made
appearances on talk radio across the country to say that his father killed
Kennedy, that Bob Grodin accompanied him? Did you know that every
time a caller asked Ricky White a question, Grodin answered for him? Do
you really believe that is a coincidence? Ricky White's father did not kill
Kennedy.
For years I have been telling people and audiences about the dis-
crepancies between the doctors' reports in Dallas and the autopsy report
made at Bethesda Naval Hospital. I have revealed that the wounds were
tampered with and changed. I have been telling the world that the body
was removed from its casket aboard the plane and was taken out the galley
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 219
door and onto a marine helicopter, and that the body arrived at Bethesda
Naval Hospital a full 30 minutes before the empty official casket. I have
stated that the President's brain had disappeared and told why it had
disappeared.
All of a sudden David Lifton appeared on radio and TV in 1990 telling
the world that he had NEW evidence that he had discovered. Every bit of
his new evidence was exactly what I had been telling people for years. It
was the same information that I had told Bob Swan in 1972. Lifton showed
up at my lecture at Beverly Hills High School. After making a scene at the
box office because he had to pay, Lifton accosted anyone who ventured into
the lobby, and along with Lars Hansson, attempted to convince them that
they did not see Greer shoot Kennedy. Legitimate people would never
have resorted to such disgraceful and discrediting behavior. My testimony
and the public's outrage after seeing the murder of President Kennedy
with their own eyes, has seriously damaged the cover-up. The behavior of
Grodin, Lifton, and Hansson reveals the degree of damage. The public can
now see without any doubt that they are either part of the cover-up or that
they are totally incompetent researchers, and in the case of Grodin, a
bare-faced liar who may have committed treason.
In the middle of all this, "Hard Copy" TV magazine called me and
wanted to see the film. I showed them the film and they were shocked,
excited and wanted an exclusive. I gave it to them but told them that I
doubted that it would ever get on the air. A date was arranged to film an
episode for airing, but just before we were scheduled to go on camera an
NBC executive called the Los Angeles studios of "Hard Copy" and told
them not to air the film. I tried to find out the name of the executive, but no
luck. That was the end of that. The producer that had tried to air my story
and the Kennedy film is no longer with "Hard Copy." Her name is Bubs
Hopper.
I was approached by another producer (don't remember his name)
from "Inside Edition," another TV magazine, who told me that Americans
needed to see the film. I agreed to be on the show but told him the same
thing, that I did not believe it would ever air. A week later I was listening
to David Lifton on a radio talk show. Someone called in and asked David
if he knew who I was and David Lifton said, "I know who he is and we
have a surprise for Mr. Cooper. We are going to put him away for good on
a national TV show. We are going to get a full accounting from that guy."
I had someone call the producer and cancel because he had lied to me.
He pleaded to have me on. I relayed through this intermediary that I
would appear only if I could have editorial control to make sure that he did
not edit the segment to ridicule the film. He refused, and I then knew his
220 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
intention all along had been to discredit me. When the segment aired, Lars
Hansson was used as a stand-in, in my place. Hansson, the man who had
been attacking me, stating that Greer had not fired at Kennedy, was now on
TV stating that Greer killed Kennedy! The reason became obvious, as they
had Bob Grodin on the next segment. Grodin ridiculed and debunked
Hansson and the film. They had intended to do a hatchet job on me, but
when I cancelled they could attack the film only with Hansson taking my
place. It had every earmark of an agency operation. It didn't work.
I discovered the next ploy when on radio Grodin stated that he would
soon (finally) release a video of his so-called pristine copy of the Zapruder
film overexposed to bring out detail in the shadows. Overexposure would
completely wash out Greer's arm and the gun, which are both in full
sunlight and have the effect of rendering both invisible to the viewer.
hope that people are not as stupid as Grodin thinks they are. I will debate
anyone at any time as long as it's in front of a live audience and nothing is
edited. I have seen what a film editor can do to make people seem to say
and do things that were never said or done.
*****
During the United States' initial space exploration and the Moon
landings every launch was accompanied by alien craft. On November 20,
1990, Los Angeles TV Channel 2 announced that a separate, red, glowing,
round-shaped object accompanied the space shuttle Atlantis on its latest
classified military mission. That was the first public admission.
A Moon base, Luna, was photographed by the Lunar Orbiter and
filmed by the Apollo astronauts. Domes, spires, tall round structures
which look like silos, huge T-shaped mining vehicles that left stitchlike
tracks in the lunar surface, and extremely large as well as small alien craft
appear in the official NASA photographs. It is a joint United States and
Soviet base: The space program is a farce and an unbelievable waste of
money. Alternative 3 is a reality. It is not science fiction.
The Apollo astronauts were severely shaken by this experience, and
their lives and subsequent statements reflect the depth of the revelation
and the effect of the muzzle order which followed. They were ordered to
remain silent or suffer the extreme penalty, death, which was termed an
"expediency." One astronaut actually did talk to the British producers of
the TV expos) "Alternative 003." It was aired on the documentary, nonfic-
tion program named "Science Report," confinning many of the allegations.
In the book Alternative 003 the pseudonym "Bob Grodin" was used in
place of the astronaut's identity. (The real Bob Grodin is a friend of Leslie
Watkins and is a part of the Kennedy assassination cover-up.) It was also
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 221
stated that the astronaut committed suicide in 1978. This cannot be vali-
dated by any source, and I believe that several so-called facts in the book
are really disinformation. I firmly believe that this disinformation is a
result of pressure put upon the authors and is meant to nullify the effect
upon the populace of the British TV expose "Alternative 3."
The headquarters of the international conspiracy is in Geneva, Swit-
zerland. The ruling body is made up of three committees consisting of
thirteen members each, and all three together comprise the 39 members of
the executive committee of the body known as the Bilderberg Group. The
most important and powerful of the three committees is the Policy Committee.
(It is more than interesting to note that the United States had
thirteen original colonies and that 39 delegates from those colonies signed
the Constitution after it was written and adopted in the first Constitutional
Convention. Do you believe that is coincidence?) Policy Committee meetings
are held on a nuclear submarine beneath the polar icecap. A Soviet
sub and an American sub join at an airlock and the meeting is convened.
The secrecy is such that this was the only method which would ensure that
the meetings could not be bugged.
I can say that the book Alternative 003 is at least 70% true from my own
knowledge and the knowledge of my sources. I believe that the disinfor-
mation was an attempt to compromise the British TV expos) with informa-
tion that could be proven false, just as the "Eisenhower Briefing
Document," which was released here in the United States under the contingency
plan Majestic Twelve, can also be proven false.
Since our interaction with the aliens began we have come into possession
of technology beyond our wildest dreams. We currently have, and fly,
atomic-powered antigravity-type craft in Nevada. Our pilots have made
interplanetary voyages in these craft and have been to the Moon, Mars, and
other lanets. We have been lied to about the true nature of the Moon, the
planets Mars and Venus, and the real state of technology that we possess
today, at this very moment.
There are areas on the Moon where plant life grows and even changes
color with the seasons. This seasonal effect is because the Moon does not,
as claimed, always present the exact same side to the Earth or the Sun. The
Moon has several man-made lakes and ponds upon its surface, and clouds
have been observed and filmed in its atmosphere. It possesses a gravitational
field and man can walk upon its surface without a space suit,
breathing from an oxygen bottle after undergoing decompression, the
same as any deep-sea diver!
I have the official NASA photographs. Some of them were published
in the books We Discovered Alien Bases on the Moon by Fred Steckling and
222 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Someone Else Is on the Moon. In 1969 a confrontation broke out between the
Soviets and Americans at the lunar base. The Soviets attempted to take
control of the base and held American scientists and personnel hostage.
We were able to restore order but not before 66 people were killed. The
Soviets were suspended from the program for a period of two years. A
reconciliation eventually took place and once again we began to interact.
Today the alliance continues. The Archuleta Mesa underground-base
confrontation scenario is pure disinformation put out to confuse the issue.
I knew that a confrontation had taken place but could not remember the
details. John Lear had convinced me that aliens and Delta forces had
fought at the Archuleta base. (The New World Order must have an enemy
from outer space.) Later, when I used regressive hypnosis to improve my
memory, the true facts emerged. To my knowledge the only hostility
between aliens and humans was provoked by the U.S. military when they
were ordered to shoot down UFOs in order to capture technology.
John Lear also says that we invented AIDS in order to kill blood-suck-
ing aliens and that we are only containers for souls. This is hogwash! It is
a clear vote for the "aliens do not exist" theory.
When the Watergate scandal broke, President Nixon was confident
that he could not be impeached. Majesty Twelve had a different agenda.
Nixon was ordered to resign, the intelligence community rightfully concluding
that an impeachment trial would open up the files and bare the
secrets to the public eye. He refused. The first military coup ever to take
place in the United States was carried out. The Joint Chiefs of Staff sent a
Top Secret message to the Commanders of all the U.S. armed forces
throughout the world. It stated, "Upon receipt of this message you will no
longer carry out any orders from the White House. Acknowledge receipt."
This message was sent a full five days before Nixon conceded and an-
nounced publicly that he would resign.
I saw the message. When I asked my commanding officer what he
would do, as obviously the order violated the Constitution, I was told: "I
guess I will wait to see if any orders come from the White House, and then
I will decide/' I did not see any communication from the White House but
that does not mean that none was sent. I have confirmation from three
additional sources, all ex-military, who wrote or called to state that they
saw the exact same order. These people are Randall Terpstra, ex-Navy;
David Race, ex-Air Force; and Donald Campbell, ex-Navy. The transcript
of a taped phone conversation between the author and Mr. Terpstra is
presented as Chapter 11 of this book, and the signed statements of the
others can be found in the Appendix.
During all the years that this has been happening the Congress and the
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 223
American people have seemed to know instinctively that something was
not right. When the Watergate scandal surfaced they jumped on the band-
wagon and everyone thought that the agencies would be cleaned out.
President Ford organized the Rockefeller Commission to do the job. His
real purpose was to head off Congress and keep the cover-up going.
Nelson Rockefeller, who headed the commission investigating the intelligence
community, was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and
the one who helped Eisenhower build the Majesty Twelve power structure.
Rockefeller uncovered only enough to keep the hounds at bay. He threw
the Congress a few bones and the cover-up rolled merrily along as always.
Later Senator Church would conduct the famous Church hearings.
He also was a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and
he merely repeated the Rockefeller act. Again the cover-up prevailed.
When the Iran-Contra affair emerged, we thought this time it had to come
gushing out. Wrong again. Despite mountains of documents pointing to
drug smuggling and other hidden monsters, the cover-up sailed on. The
Congress even seemed to go out of its way to duck the real issues. As
mentioned earlier, one of the most serious facts uncovered is that North
was involved in preparing a plan to suspend the Constitution of the United
States of America. When Congressman Jack Brooks of Texas attempted to
probe the issue he was silenced by the committee chairman. Could it be
that Congress knows the whole thing and won't touch it? Are they among
the select who have been picked for the Mars colony when the Earth begins
to destruct, if the Earth is going to destruct?
I cannot even begin to outline the entire financial empire controlled by
the CIA, the NSA, and the Council on Foreign Relations, which in turn
control and launder the money from drugs and other intelligence community
proprietary ventures; but I can give you a beginning. The amount
of money is beyond anything you can imagine and is hidden in a vast
network of banks and holding companies. You should first begin to look at
the J. Henry Schroder Banking Corporation, the Schroder Trust Company,
Schroders Ltd. (London), Helbert Wagg Holdings Ltd., J. Henry Schroder-
Wagg & Co. Ltd., Schroder Gerbruder and Company (Germany), Schroder
Munchmeyer Gengst and Company, Castle Bank and its holding companies,
the Asian Development Bank, and the Nugan Hand octopus of
banks and holding companies.
A contingency plan was formulated by Majesty Twelve to throw every
one off the trail should they come close to the truth. The plan was known
as MAJESTIC TWELVE. It was implemented with the release by Moore,
Shandera, and Friedman of the purported Eisenhower Briefing Document.
The document is a fraud, because it is numbered 092447, a number which
224 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
does not exist and will not exist for quite a long time at the present rate.
Truman wrote Executive orders in the 9000 range; Eisenhower's were in the
10,000 range; Ford was up to the 11,000 bracket; and Reagan reached only
into the 12,000s. Executive orders are numbered consecutively, no matter
who occupies the White House, for reasons of continuity, record keeping,
and to prevent confusion. This red herring has thrown the entire research
community off the trail for several years and has resulted in the wasted
expenditure of money looking for information which does not exist.
The Washington D.C.-based Fund for UFO Research headed by Bruce
Maccabee has committed what I believe to be criminal fraud in connection
with the Eisenhower Briefing Document, Stanton Friedman, and the re-
search team of Moore, Shandera, and Friedman. Maccabee solicited funds
from people, promising to use those funds to investigate Moore's,
Shandera's, and Friedman's claims and prove the Eisenhower Briefing
Document to be genuine or fake. Instead he gave the entire $16,000 to
Stanton Friedman and assigned HIM the task of establishing or destroying
his own validity. What a snow job! People in the UFO community fell for
the scam and eagerly awaited Stanton Friedman's findings. Of course,
Friedman found that the documents were genuine. Just what did people
think he would find? HE WAS GIVEN $16,000 TO INVESTIGATE HIM-
SELF! IT IS UNETHICAL. IT IS A CLEAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST. I
SINCERELY BELIEVE IT TO BE CRIMINAL FRAUD, since money was
taken in the process. Those who donated money in good faith should
immediately bring suit against Stanton Friedman, Bruce Maccabee and the
Fund for UFO Research. This farce resulted in the total waste of $16,000.
Many thousands of man hours have gone down a rathole. If you doubt the
secret government's ability to lead you through the rose garden, you had
better think again.
Another plan is in force. It is the plan to prepare the public for
eventual confrontation with an alien race. It could also intend to make you
believe in an alien race that may not exist. The public is being bombarded
with movies, radio, advertising, and TV programs depicting almost every
aspect of the purported true nature of an alien presence. This includes the
good and the bad. Look around and pay attention. Someone is planning
to make their presence known and the government is preparing you for it.
They do not want any panic. The unprecedented number of sightings
worldwide indicates that public exposure is not far off. Never in history
have there been so many incidents involving UFOs and never in history
have there been so many official acknowledgments.
For many years the Secret Government has been importing drugs and
selling them to the people, mainly the poor and minorities. Social welfare
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 225
programs were put into place to create a dependent, nonworking element
in our society. The government then began to remove these programs to
force people into a criminal class that did not exist in the '50s and '60s.
The government encouraged the manufacture and importation of
military firearms for the criminals to use. This is intended to foster a
feeling of insecurity, which would lead the American people to voluntarily
disarm themselves by passing laws against firearms. Using drugs and
hypnosis on mental patients in a process called Orion, the CIA inculcated
the desire in these people to open fire on schoolyards and thus inflame the
antigun lobby. This plan is well under way, and so far is working perfectly.
The middle class is begging the government to do away with the 2nd
amendment.
Author's Note: I have found that these events have indeed happened all over
the country. In every instance that I have investigated the incident at the
women's school in Canada, the shopping center incident in Canada, the Stock-
ton, California, massacre, and the murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane the
shooters were all ex-mental patients or were current mental patients who wereALL ON THE DRUG PROZAC! This drug, when taken in certain doses,
increases the serotonin level in the patient, causing extreme violence. Couplethat with a posthypnotic suggestion or control through an electronic brain
implant or microwave or E.L.F. intrusion and you get mass murder, ending in
every case with the suicide of the perpetrator. Exhume the bodies of the
murderers and check for a brain implant. I think you are going to be surprised.
In every case the name of the murderer's doctor or mental treatment facilityhas been withheld. I believe we will be able to establish intelligence-community
connections and/or connections to known CIA experimental mind-
control programs when we finally discover who these doctors of death really
are.
Due to the wave of crime sweeping the nation, the media will convince
the American people that a state of anarchy exists within the major cities.
They are now building their case almost nightly on TV and daily in the
newspapers. When public opinion has been won to this idea, they intend
to state that a terrorist group armed with a nuclear weapon has entered the
United States and that they plan to detonate this device in one of our cities.
(This is now being set up by the crisis in the Middle East.) The Government
will then suspend the Constitution and declare martial law. The secret
alien army of implanted humans and all dissidents, which translates into
anyone they choose, will be rounded up and placed in the one-mile-square
concentration camps which already exist. Are the people whom they intend
to place in these concentration camps destined to make up the
reported "batch consignments" of slave labor needed by the space
colonies?
The media radio, TV, newspapers, and computer networks will
226 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
be nationalized and seized. Anyone who resists will be taken or killed.
This entire operation was rehearsed by the government and military in
1984 under the code name REX-84A and it went off without a hitch. When
these events have transpired, the SECRET GOVERNMENT and/or ALIEN
takeover will be complete. Your freedom will never be returned and you
will live in slavery for the remainder of your life. You had better wake up
and you had better do it now!
Philip Klass is an agent of the CIA. This was stated in the documents
I saw between 1970 and 1973. One of his jobs as an aviation expert was to
debunk everything to do with UFOs. All military commanders were instructed
to call him to gain information on how to debunk and/or explain
UFO contacts and/or sightings to the public and/or the press if and when
the need arose. Some people seem to love Klass. They encourage him and
heap large doses of attention upon him. He is invited to speak at UFO
events and is quoted in papers, books, and newspapers as being the expert
on "what really happened."
Philip Klass is not operating in our best interest. His debunkings and
explanations of UFO sightings are so full of holes that a six-year-old child
should be able to discern his true purpose. I have seen poor misled people
actually ask Klass for his autograph, an act similar in magnitude to Elliot
Ness asking Al Capone for his autograph. I have found that in many
instances the secret elect are absolutely right when they state that "people
who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not
have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table
by choice and consent." (Quote from "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" in
Chapter Two). We get exactly what we deserve in most instances.
William Moore, Jaimie Shandera, and Stanton Friedman are witting
(with full knowledge, understanding, and consent) agents of the Secret
Government. William Moore's reported use of a Defense Investigative
Service ID card and his reported self-confession to Lee Graham that he is an
agent of the government confirmed it. (Lee Graham phoned me at my
home, and when asked, confirmed that Moore had indeed shown him a
Defense Investigative Service ID.) Moore's later confession proved it with-
out any doubt.
Author's Note: On July 1,1989, the night before I presented this paper at the
MUFON symposium in Las Vegas, William Moore admitted that he was a
government agent, that he had released disinformation to researchers, that
had falsified documents, that he had spied upon researchers and reported
information concerning those researchers to the intelligence community, thathe had helped in a counterintelligence operation against Paul Bennewicz that
resulted in Mr. Bennewicz's commitment to a mental institution, and that he
had done all this with full knowledge of what he was doing. He is either a
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 227
traitor or a stone-hearted manipulator at best.
Some of the self-appointed "ufologists" still look up to Moore, and still
cite his research in their correspondence, papers, and books. This reflects a
degree of ignorance and stupidity in the UFO community. Bruce Maccabee
wrote a letter to Caveat Emptor citing articles from William Moore's publication,
Focus, as proof that I am discredited. Dream on. It is no mystery to
me why mainstream America calls ufologists whackos, loonies, and nuts.
In some cases they are.
Jaime Shandera is the man responsible for my loss of employment as
the Executive Director of National Technical College. Shortly after going
public, Shandera showed up at the college wearing a brown suit and
carrying a briefcase. He ignored the receptionist's attempts to help him.
She informed me that a man had walked into the college and appeared to
ne inspecting the building and classrooms. I found Mr. Shandera peering
into the word-processing classroom. I asked him if I could be of any help.
He said no and ignored me. I explained that I was the Executive Director
and again asked if I could be of any help. Again he said no but gave me
some very hard stares and appeared to have been taken off guard. He
seemed to be extremely nervous and immediately left the building. I
followed him out the door, and a man across the street snapped my picture
with a 35mm camera. I watched as Jaime Shandera walked to his car, took
one last look at me and then drove away. A few days later he repeated the
act, only this time he told me that he had seen an ad that the college was for
sale and he was looking over the property. I saw him again, coming out of
the corporate offices. When he saw me he again became extremely nervous
and hurried to his car, took off his jacket before getting in and then drove
off. A few minutes later I was called to the President's office and told that
the college could not use anyone who could jeopardize the status of
government assistance by getting involved with flying saucers. I knew
wthat had happened and tendered my resignation effective April 15,1989.
I had no intention of stopping my activities and I did not wish to hurt the
college or the students who depended so much on government aid pro-
grams. All this time Shandera thought he had pulled it off anonymously,
but I and several others have always known that it was he. Now you know.
Jaime Shandera was positively identified by me, the Security Depart-
ment Head, and the receptionist. Later I obtained another positive identification
from the Vice President in charge of Admissions. John Lear was
at that time the only person who knew the name and address of my place
of employment. I later found out by body-proportion comparison analysis
and voice-print analysis that John Lear is the agent dubbed "Condor" on
the CIA-backed TV production of "UFO Cover-up Live." As Condor, he is

in reality a government agent who has been working with Moore,
Shandera, Friedman, John Grace, Bob Lazar, and others all along. They are
CIA all the way.
Stanton Friedman has told me and others that years ago he "helped
develop a nuclear reactor to power an aircraft that was the size of a
basketball, was clean, turned out hydrogen, and worked like a dream" (his
words, not mine). Several others have written me to say that they also were
told the same thing by Mr. Friedman. Roger Scherrer is one who remem-
bers Stanton relating to him this same story. The only fuel which could go
into such an engine and produce hydrogen as a byproduct is water, and
that is precisely what at least one type of alien craft uses nuclear energy
and water, according to the documentation I read while in Naval Intelligence.
Is he really unwitting? I seriously doubt it. He was a member of
the Moore, Shandera, and Friedman research team, and it was they who
implemented the MAJESTIC TWELVE contingency plan.
In documents that I read between 1970 and 1973, the names of in-
dividuals were listed who had been targeted for recruitment. These documents
stated that these people were to be coerced, using patriotism as a
motivating force whenever possible. If necessary, financial assistance
would be provided through employment with a proprietary front com-
pany or through grants. This is, coincidentally, the method by which
Friedman got his $16,000 from another agent, Bruce Maccabee. We have
also found that Moore has received money for research from at least two
CIA front companies. This has been confirmed by the research of Grant
Cameron. Others named on the list were cited as active intelligence-agency
assets. When I first presented this paper I gave only a partial list of those
named in the Naval Intelligence documents. Following are as many names
as I can remember. (There may be more, but these are all that I can recall at
this time.)
Stanton Friedman, CIA; John Lear, CIA (Lear's father was named as
having participated in antigravity research); William Moore; John Keel;
Charles Berlitz; Bruce Maccabee, ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence); Linda
Moulton Howe; Philip Klass, CIA; James Moseley, CIA (Moseley's father
was discussed in a very complimentary manner); Virgil Armstrong, CIA
(listed as Postlethwaite); Wendelle Stevens, CIA; Dr. J. Allen Hynek, CIA.
That is the list as I remember it. There may have been others, but I
cannot recall. I know of other agents who were not on the list. You must
remember that when I first wrote this paper I thought that Bruce Maccabee
might not have been recruited, but then later he proved me wrong when he
gave Stanton Friedman $16,000 to investigate himself.
There was a two-word code that these people were to use to identify
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 229
each other. The first word was a color and the second word was a bird. The
code was "Gold Eagle." When Stanton Friedman first contacted me he
used the code. I pretended ignorance but he asked me several times if I had
ever seen or heard of Gold Eagle. John Lear also asked me if I had ever
heard of Gold Eagle. He too was testing me. They knew that I had access
to correct information and were attempting to determine if I were one of
them. As George Bush would say, "Read my lips." I was never one of you.
I will never be one of you.
When I talked to Stan Deyo in Australia by phone, he told me the code
given to him was "Blue Falcon." Stan was a victim of mind-control ex-
perimentation while a cadet at the Air Force Academy. He and over 80
other cadet mind-control subjects resigned from the academy in protest.
He has been on a crusade to discover the truth ever since. Stan has written
two excellent books, The Cosmic Conspiracy, and The Vindicator Scrolls. I
recommend you read them both.
I think that Linda Moulton Howe may be innocent of witting involvement.
Linda in particular seems to have exercised extreme care in what she
has presented to the public. Her research is excellent. I was impressed
when she confided to me that Sgt. Richard Doty of the Counterintelligence
Division of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations had taken her into
the Intelligence office at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico and
showed her the exact same documents that I had seen while in the Navy.
She even saw the same information on the Kennedy assassination naming
Greer as the assassin. Ms. Howe is also the only person in the world
outside of the intelligence community who knows the truth as I know it
regarding Operation MAJORITY. She has exercised good judgment and
great restraint in not revealing the contents of those documents to the
public. It is for this reason that I believe that an attempt has been made to
use her. Fortunately, Linda did not fall off a turnip truck and she didn't
play the game. I recommend you read her book entitled Alien Harvest. You
should be able to order it from any good bookstore.
I have discovered that Whitley Strieber is a CIA asset, as is Budd
Hopkins. Strieber's book Majestic has convicted him with those of us in the
know. It is the true story of the Roswell crash taken from the confiscated
diaries of James Forrestal. That is, assuming that the documents that I saw
in the Navy were not a hoax. I do not believe that they were. The names of
people and names of projects and operations have been changed in
Strieber's book, but other than that the information and documentation is
true. The autopsy reports are exactly the same that I saw in Project
GRUDGE 18 years ago.
I have recently come into possession of an affidavit that is signed,
230 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
notarized, and sworn under penalty of perjury from an M.D. in New York
stating that the M.D. was recruited by a CIA agent named Budd Hopkinsto help work with abductees for the CIA. The affidavit is included in the
Appendix. I knew that Hopkins was not right when I met him in Modesto.
He could not look me in the eyes, and anyone who cannot look me in theeyes is not right. He spent the whole time, including his speech, trying toconvince people of the innocence of the abductee experience and the absence
of the aliens' malevolence, which was a total crock. It was an insult
to anyone who had investigated abductees.
I know that all of the major UFO research organizations were targeted
for infiltration and control by the Secret Government, just as NICAP was
infiltrated and controlled. In fact, NICAP was eventually destroyed fromwithin. I know that these efforts have been successful.
MUFON is a great example. Hundreds of members all over the world
conduct investigations and send in physical evidence to MUFON headquarters,
where it quickly disappears. Everyone screams for physical
evidence as proof. Recently samples were collected of a liquid that had
dripped from a saucer onto a schoolyard in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The
samples were sent to MUFON, where they immediately vanished. Walt
Andrus has stated that it was an accident. BALONEY! This is not the first
time MUFON has "lost" evidence. I consider MUFON the great black hole
of the UFO community. The control of information is so tight that nothing
escapes. Anyone who tells it like it really is, is debunked and barred fromsymposiums. The members are told what to believe and what not to
believe. The members do not seem to know that they are being controlled.
The members of the MUFON board of directors and the members of the
advisory board of consultants are for the most part supported by theGovernment in the form of salaries, grants, or retirement checks. Who can
believe that this does not constitute a conflict of interest? Who can investigate
and expose the hand that feeds them? How can you possibly believe
the Government could not control the people to whom it funnels money?
MONEY IS THE BASIC METHOD OF CONTROL.
The major UFO publications are without any doubt controlled and are
most probably, as in the case with UFO, financially backed or controlled by
the CIA. Vicki Cooper (no relation), the editor and publisher of UFO, has
been telling friends and relatives for at least two years that the CIA is
pushing her magazine. Ron Regehr and Lee Graham remember the summer
of 1988 when Vicki interviewed them at Mr. Graham's residence in
Huntington Beach. After the interview was over Vicki Cooper walked to
her car, turned, and mysteriously yelled, "You know, my magazine mightbe financed by the CIA."
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 231
I have talked to friends and acquaintances of Ms. Cooper who swear
that she has stated on many occasions that "the CIA controls UFO maga-
zine." Vicki Cooper's uncle, Grant Cooper, was Sirhan Sirhan's defense
attorney, who made no attempt to defend his client. It was important to the
Secret Government and the CIA that Sirhan be pinned as a "lone assassin."
Grant Cooper has extensive ties to the CIA and the Johnny Rosselli mob.
We have found that Vicki's son attends the West Point Military Aca-
demy. What a wonderful way to control a magazine! "You don't play ball,
your son won't graduate." I found out that the person who found Vicki
Cooper an apartment when she arrived in Los Angeles was Barry Taff, a
long-time employee of the intelligence agencies (yes, plural) and a long-
time proteg) of Dr. John Lilly and Dr. J. West, the government's premiere
experts in mind control. These men have been involved in the most terrify-
ing, experimentation ever directed at total control of individuals. I believe
that it is no innocent coincidence that Taff's apartment is directly above
Vicki's. All of this was confirmed independently in a letter written by Mr.
Martin Cannon, a Los Angeles-based researcher. The letter can be found in
the Appendix.
The most damning evidence for the control of UFO magazine and
Vicki Cooper comes from Don Ecker. At the 1989 MUFON Conference Don
Ecker became so uninhibited that he managed to relate the following story
to me and two others.
According to Don Ecker, Vicki Cooper used to work for the infamous
Mayflower Madam. The Feds were trying to get the Madam and discovered
Vicki. Ms. Cooper was busted and threatened with spending the
rest of her life in prison if she did not cooperate. Vicki rolled over, according,
to Ecker, and ratted on her employer. Since Vicki had apparently had
something to do with the bookkeeping operation, she became a key witness.
The Mayflower Madam was put out of business and into jail, thanks
to Ms. Cooper's testimony. That is, if Don Ecker was telling the truth. We
have no reason to believe that he was lying. I don't know why Don told us.
Maybe he doesn't like Vickie. Or maybe he, like Lear and Friedman,
thought I was one of them. (If 11 be a cold day in hell.)
According to Ecker, Vicki Cooper was told to get out of town and stay
out. She was given money and told to start UFO magazine in Los Angeles.
She was told that she was to print information that would be fed to her.
Sure enough, you read in UFO purported leaked government UFO information,
always written by someone who cannot be contacted. It is always
under an alias; no one can check the information. Vicki is adamant about
printing only the news and information that she considers best for the
readers, as if they have no mind of their own. She indulges in character
232 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
assassination.
Don Ecker claims to have been a member of Army Intelligence, the
Green Berets, and later a police officer in Boise, Idaho. Don claims a total
of ten years experience as a criminal investigator. The Boise Police Department,
when asked by phone, has denied any knowledge of Mr. Ecker. I
have requested that Don furnish a copy of his Army record, but he has
refused. Ecker calls himself a UFO expert and has dubbed himself (yep,
you guessed it) a "ufologist." He sprinkles terms like "ufological" around
in his articles, and not even Don knows what the hell it means. He con-
firms most of the information that I have divulged when he speaks to
groups. He has furnished data bases with a plethora of files that confirm
everything that I have ever said. Ecker probably made them up himself,
since they are all anonymous. He claims that aliens mutilate humans like
cattle. Don Ecker, like Vicki Cooper, practices character assassination.
According to legitimate law-enforcement sources, Ecker is lying to the
public. He was a guard at the Idaho State Prison from September 1981 to
September 1982 when he quit to become a Canyon County Sheriff's
Department Narcotics Deputy Trainee. Donald Francis Ecker II was fired
after only six weeks for "improper conduct." Mr. Ecker returned to the
Idaho State Prison where he was employed as a guard until July 1987 when
he shot off his left leg with a shotgun during a training exercise. Sources
also reveal that Donald Francis Ecker II is a fugitive from justice. Author-
ities in Idaho hold several outstanding warrants for the arrest of Mr. Ecker.
You must understand that the government is not ever going to allow
any person or any group of persons to uncover the most highly classified
secret in the world if they can help it. They will always have agents
controlling UFO groups, publications and information. If aliens are not
real and the whole thing turns out to be the greatest hoax ever perpetrated,
just who do you think did the perpetrating?
If the underground history is correct, aliens have manipulated and/or
ruled the human race through various secret societies, religions, magic,
witchcraft, and the occult. The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral
Commission are in complete control of the alien technology and are
also in complete control of the nation's economy. Eisenhower was the last
President to know the entire overview of the alien problem. Succeeding
Presidents were told only what Majesty Twelve and the intelligence community
wanted them to know. Believe me, it was not the truth.
Majesty Twelve has presented most new Presidents with a picture of a
lost alien culture seeking to renew itself, build a home on this planet, and
shower us with gifts of technology. In some cases the President was told
nothing. Each President in turn has swallowed the story (or no story at all)
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 233
hook, line and sinker. Meanwhile innocent people continue to suffer at the
hands of the alien and human scientists. I have been unable to determine
exactly what it is they are doing. Many people are abducted and are
sentenced to live with psychological and physical damage for the rest of
their lives. Could this really be a CIA mind-control operation?
In the documents that I read, 1 in 40 humans had been implanted with
devices, the purpose of which I have never discovered. The Government
believes that the aliens are building an army of implanted humans who can
ne activated and turned upon us at will. You should also know that to date
we have not even begun to come close to parity with the aliens.
I sent 536 copies of a "Petition to Indict" to every member of the Senate
and House of Representatives on April 26,1989. As of this date, November
23,1990, I have received a total of only six replies, only four more than I had
received in May 1989.
THE CONCLUSIONS ARE INESCAPABLE:
(1) The secret power structure may believe that by our own ignorance
or by divine decree, planet Earth will self-destruct sometime in the near
future. These men sincerely believe that they are doing the right thing in
their attempt to save the human race. It is terribly ironic that they have
been forced to take as their partner an alien race which is itself engaged in
a monumental struggle for survival. Many moral and legal compromises
may have been made in this joint effort. These compromises were made in
error and must be corrected. Those responsible should be brought to
account for their actions. I can understand the fear and urgency that must
have been instrumental in the decision not to tell the public. Obviously I
disagree with that decision.
Throughout history small but powerful groups of men have consistently
felt that they alone were capable of deciding the fates of millions.
Throughout history they have been wrong. This great Nation owes its very
existence to the principles of Freedom and Democracy. I believe with all
my heart that the United States of America cannot and will not succeed in
any effort that ignores those principles. Full disclosure to the public should
be made and we should proceed to save the human race together.
(2) We are being manipulated by a joint human/alien power struc-
ture which will result in a one-world government and the partial enslave-
ment of the human race. This has been deemed necessary to solve the
elemental question: "Who will speak for planet Earth?" It has been
decided that man is not mature enough in his evolutionary development to
be trusted to interact properly with an alien race. We already have enough
trouble between the different human races, so what would happen if a
234 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
totally alien extraterrestrial race was introduced? Would they be lynched,
spit upon, or shot? Would discrimination result in nasty encounters that
would doom humanity as a result of the alien's obviously superior technology?
Have our leaders decided to lock us in the playpen? The only way to
prevent this scenario from taking place is to cause an evolutionary leap in
consciousness, a paradigm shift for the entire human race. I have no idea
how it can be done, but I know that it desperately needs to be done. It
needs to be done very quickly and very quietly.
(3) The government has been totally deceived and we are being
manipulated by an alien power, which will result in the total enslavement
and/or destruction of the human race. We must use any and every means
available to prevent this from happening.
(4) If none of the above are true, something else may be happening
which is beyond our ability to understand at this moment. We must force
disclosure of all of the facts, discover the truth, and act upon it. The
situation in which we find ourselves is due to our own actions or inactions
over the last 44 years. Because it is our own fault, we are the only ones who
can change future events. Education seems to me to be a major part of the
solution. The remaining part is the abolition of secrecy.
(5) There is always the possibility that I was used, that the whole
alien scenario is the greatest hoax in history designed to create an alien
enemy from outer space in order to expedite the formation of a one-world
government. I have found evidence that this could be true. I have in-
cluded that evidence in the Appendix. I advise you to consider this scena-
rio as being probable.
Through ignorance or misplaced trust we as a people have abdicated
our role as the watchdog of our government. Our government was
founded "of the people, for the people, by the people." There was no
mention or intent ever to abdicate our role and place our total trust in a
handful of men who meet secretly to decide our fate. In fact, the structure
of our government was designed to prevent that from ever happening. It
we had done our jobs as Citizens we would never have reached this point
Most of us are completely ignorant as to even the most basic functions of
our government. We have truly become a nation of sheep and sheep are
always eventually led to slaughter. It is time to stand up in the manner of
our forefathers and walk like men. I remind you that the Jews of Europe
marched obediently to the ovens after having been warned, believing all
the while that the facts could not possibly be true. When the outside world
was told of the holocaust occurring in Hitler's Europe, it was not believed
at first.
You must understand that, real or not, the purported presence of
Chapter Twelve The Secret Government 235
aliens have been used to neutralize certain widely different segments of the
population: "Don't worry, the benevolent space brothers will save you." It
can also be used to fill the need for an extraterrestrial threat to justify the
formation of a New World Order: "The aliens are eating us." The most
important information that you need to determine your future actions is
that this New World Order calls for the destruction of the sovereignty of
nations, including the United States. The New World Order cannot, and
will not, allow our Constitution to continue to exist. The New World Order
will be a totalitarian socialist system. We will be slaves shackled to a
cashless system of economic control.
If the documentation that I viewed while I was in Naval Intelligence is
true, then what you have just read is probably closer to the truth than
anything ever written. If extraterrestrials are a hoax, then what you just
read is exactly what the Illuminati wants you to believe. I can assure you
beyond any shadow of a doubt that even if aliens are not real, the technology
IS REAL. Antigravity craft exist and human pilots fly them. I and
millions of others have seen them. They are metal; they are machines; they
come in different shapes and sizes; and they are obviously intelligently
guided.
If suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species
from another planet, we'd forget all the little local differences that we have
between our two countries and we would find out once and for all that we
really are all human beings on this Earth.

Article VI
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adop-

this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be
made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made,
under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the
Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members
of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers,
both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath
or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever
be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the
United States.
HAVE WE ALREADY JOINED A ONE-WORLD
GOVERNMENT?
U.S. Sovereignty Fact or Fiction?
The Executive, Judicial and Legislative Branches of the U.S. Govern-
ment have followed the policy that the United Nations Treaty approved
under the U.N. Participation Act of 1945 in behalf of the United States of
America by Harry S. Truman and the United States Senate, which treaty
supersedes the United States Constitution under the terms of Article VI of
the United States Constitution.
The Council of Foreign Relations created the United Nations. Their
member agents, Alger Hiss and Leo Pasvolsky did the paperwork, but the
honors went to a special committee appointed by President Roosevelt to
draw the first draft of the Charter.
The members of the Committee were: Sumner Wells, Isaiah Bowman,
Hamilton Fish Armstrong, Benjamin Cohen, and Clark Eichelberger all
members of the Council on Foreign Relations and members of a secret
Order of the Quest called the JASON Society.
The Charter was rushed through the U.S. Senate without printed
copies to guide the Senators: it was EXPLAINED to them by Russian-born
revolutionary Leo Pasvolsky.
The Charter conferred no real power on the General Assembly; all the
power was in the Security Council where the VETO was. The Senate
Chapter Thirteen Treason in High Places 241
would not have ratified the Charter except that the American delegation
had a right to VETO if our interests were threatened by action of other
members.
Included in this Charter was and is ARTICLE 25: "Member nations
agree to ACCEPT and CARRY OUT the decisions of the Security Council in
accordance with the PRESENT CHARTER/'
No restrictions, no reservations. This is ALL of Article 25. Note the
word "present," indicating that there might be OTHER charters. The
VETO was a hindrance to World Government it had to be circumvented.
In 1950 the General Assembly, without any legal authority, met and
adopted what they named the "UNITING FOR PEACE" RESOLUTION.
This, greatly expanded since that time, permitted THE GENERAL AS-
SEMBLY to EXERCISE THE POWERS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL. I
bet you didn't know that. The Government of the United States recognizes
the illegally amended Charter as the "law of the world," overriding our
Constitution. The General Assembly has for years been making the law of
the world by RATIFYING RESOLUTIONS BY A 2/3 MAJORITY VOTE.
When the Resolution is ratified it is sent down to the CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OF THE MEMBER STATE and the EXECUTIVE IS OBLIGED TO ACCEPT
AND CARRY OUT the provisions in the resolution.
The governments concerned must IGNORE, ABOLISH, REVISE AND
RESCIND LAWS in their territories which conflict with the resolutions of
the General Assembly, and to PASS OTHER LAWS WHICH WILL PUT
THESE RESOLUTIONS INTO FORCE. "One man, one vote" comes
through Resolution No. 1760.
There are more than 2000 of these resolutions now in effect. THEY
ARE THE LAW OF THE LAND. Our civil rights laws (the ex-post facto
sections of which come from the Nuremberg Resolutions), our agricultural
laws, our health and welfare laws, our labor laws, our foreign aid laws
all come from resolutions of the General Assembly or treaties of the U.N.
ratified by our Senate.
Any law passed in your state will be rescinded or abolished if it is in
conflict with resolutions of the General Assembly.
I can tell you, with no reservations whatsoever, that all of the intelligence
organizations of the United States work directly for the United
Nations in concert with the Secret Government toward the sole purpose of
the destruction of the sovereignty of the United States of America and the
bringing about of the one-world government. The authority cited for their
efforts is ARTICLE VI of the Constitution, the United Nations Treaty, and
the U.N. Participation Act of 1949 signed by Harry S. Truman with the
advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
242 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
This should help you understand how our laws are being made and
who is making them! ASK YOUR SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN AND
STATE LEGISLATORS IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THESE FACTS.
The following statement was made by Mr. Carl B. Rix of Milwaukee,
former president of the American Bar Association, before a Senate subcom-
mittee which was hearing testimony on the proposed Bricker Amendment.
It was entered into the House Record by Hon. Lawrence H. Smith, Wisconsin,
on May 11,1955.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD (page A3220)
Statement of Carl B. Rix, Milwaukee, Wisconsin:
I appear in favor of the amendments.
Congress is no longer bound by its constitutional system of delegated
powers. Its only test is under the obligatory power to promote human
rights in these fields of endeavor: Civil, political, economic, social and
cultural. These are found in Articles 55 and 56 of the Charter of the United
Nations, a ratified and approved treaty. They are being promoted in all
parts of the world by the United Nations.
Congress may now legislate as an uninhibited body with no shackles
of delegated powers under the Constitution. Our entire system of a
government of delegated powers of Congress has been changed to a systern
of undelegated powers without amendment by the people of the
United States.
The authority for these statements is found in a volume entitled Con-
stitution of the United States of America, Annotated, issued in 1953, prepared
under the direction of the Judiciary Committee of the Senate of the United
States and under the chairmanship of Prof. Edward S. Corwin of Princeton,
aided by the legal staff of the Library of Congress. This is the conclusion on
page 427 of the Annotations: "In a word, the treaty power cannot purport
to amend the Constitution by adding to the list of Congress' enumerated
powers, but having acted, the consequence will often be that it has
provided Congress with an opportunity to enact measures which, inde-
pendently of a treaty, Congress could not pass, and the only question that
can be raised as to such measures will be whether they are 'necessary and
proper' measures for the carrying of the treaty in question into operation."
It will be noted that one of the principal cases cited is that of the
Migratory Bird case.
These conclusions are those also of a committee of the New York State
Bar Association, of which former Attorney General Mitchell and Mr. John
W. Davis were prominent members.
Now, for some practical illustration of new-found powers under
Chapter Thirteen Treason in High Places 243
treaties of what Congress may do:
1. It may enact a comprehensive education bill, providing for educa-
tion in any State which does not provide it. In fact, it may take over all
public education now provided by States and municipalities.
2. It may enact a prohibition act without an amendment of the Con-
stitution.
3. It may enact a uniform divorce act.
4. It may take over all social and welfare services rendered by or
through the States or their agencies.
5. It may take over all commerce, all utility rates and service, all labor.
The list may be multiplied extensively at your will.
The new test of constitutionality will apply to all legislation by Congress
since 1945, which deals with any of the five fields of endeavor. Any
judge deciding on the validity of legislation must have two books before
him one, the Constitution of the United States, and the other, the Charter
of the United Nations. If he does not find authority for the act in the
Constitution, he will find it in the Charter. That is the exact situation in
which Justice Holmes found himself and the other members of the
Supreme Court when they decided the Migratory Bird case. The authority
was not found in the Constitution it was found in the treaty with Great
Britain.
The question to be answered is this: Under which form of government
do the people of the United States prefer to live? Manifestly, we cannot
operate under both.
Senators, the people of the United States have given up their sons; they
have given up billions of their substance. They should not be the only
Nation in the world to give up their form of government the wonder of
the world to discharge their obligations to the people of the world.
THE BRICKER AMENDMENT, WHICH WOULD HAVE CHANGED THIS,
WAS NOT PASSED.
A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Borger, Texas News Herald
Sunday, November 11,1962
Dear Mr. Newby:
Replying to your letter Oct. 12th, also CHALLENGE for November,
1961: quoting Patrick Henry on treaties. In the first place Patrick Henry
was and is NO AUTHORITY on either treaties or the Constitution, and he
opposed it, IF it is too late to do anything about reinstating our Constitu
244 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
tion, then why not just accept the traitorous U.N. Charter-Treaty without
more ado? Why didn't the American Revolutionists think it too late or too
difficult to defend their Liberty? And IF the highly-intelligent framers of
the Constitution "were well aware of the deathtrap incorporated in AR-
TICLE VI," why then did they so frame it? Did they not expect PATRIOTS,
rather than Treasonists as our elected officials, to HONOR AND ENFORCE
the spirit, letter, and intent of the Constitution?
I note you say that according to a law dictionary, the terms "legal" and
"lawful" are almost one and the same. Agreed! "Almost," but not quite. I
believe there is a fine point of difference. Taking us into the U.N. may
SEEM to have been done legally (by the President and Senate), but the act
is still unlawful, because it is unconstitutional, and the CONSTITUTION IS
THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. All renowned and genuine Con-
stitutional experts (such as Thos. M. Cooley, Thos. Jas. Norton, and Harry
Atwood, to name several) have always held that anything which contravenes,
diminishes, or perverts the Constitution is null and void and of
no effect.
Neither the President or Senate has authority or power to change,
diminish, or destroy the Constitution "by usurpation," treaty, or otherwise:
only a Constitutional Amendment can lawfully change it.
The Constitution is a contract that WE THE PEOPLE of the USA made
with one another, which sets up the machinery of government to carry out
this contract mainly for the purpose of PROTECTING INDIVIDUAL
RIGHTS as well as STATE RIGHTS, AGAINST THE POWERS OF
GOVERNMENT: and no public official has a right to override the
provisions of that contract. To quote Thos. Jas. Norton's Constitution of the
United States, Its Application, etc., "A law of Congress to be one of the
supreme laws must be 'made in pursuance thereof and not in conflict with
the Constitution. When not made in pursuance thereof it is of course
unconstitutional and of no effect." And the same would similarly apply to
a wonderful decision rendered by the Supreme Court or an unlawful
Treaty.
And from Norton's Undermining the Constitution, which quotes
Alexander Hamilton in No. 33 of The Federalist: "It will not, I presume,
have escaped observation that it expressly confines the supremacy to laws
made pursuant to the Constitution" (emphasis by Hamilton). And from
page 21, "The General Government can claim no powers which are not
granted to it by the Constitution, and the powers actually granted must be
such as are expressly given, or given by necessary implication."
Anyone with the presumed intelligence to be President of the USA
must know that he cannot lawfully make any such far-reaching treaty with
Chapter Thirteen Treason in High Places 245
the United Nations, or any other foreign power, as you envision by your
language, without laying himself open to the charge of TREASON under
ARTICLE III, Section 3 of the Constitution. Just ordinary common sense is
required to know that our alleged Treaty with the U.N. and acceptance of
the all-inclusive terms of its Charter by our Presidents (beginning with
FDR, who connived with Stalin at Yalta for the setting up of the U.N. in the
USA) and our Senate, is a violation of their sacred oath of office as per
ARTICLE III, Section 2 of the Constitution.
Such a Treaty makes a mockery of any genuine allegiance to OUR Flag
and Constitution. A genuine American, Abraham Lincoln, said, "Worse
than traitors-in-arms are the men who, pretending loyalty to the Flag, feast
and fatten on the misfortunes of the nation." Think of any TRUTH more
applicable to the present time?
A number of our officials, including former Secretary of State Dean
Acheson, the late John Foster Dulles, and members of our present one-
world Kennedy entourage go along with the statement that the USA now
has NO "domestic" affairs: there has been a melding of our domestic and
foreign affairs! (Meld means to merge.)
Katanga Province in the Congo thought she had some private affairs
and rights, but the U.N. soon disillusioned her. Quote from S.L. Tribune for
September 14,1961: "U.N. Soldiers Take Over in Katanga. U.N. troops
seized Katanga's capital, Elisabethville, in a brisk battle Wednesday, and
the Congo's central government proclaimed the return of that secessionist
province." There is no doubt that the President of the USA and Senate have
surrendered certain of our rights and Sovereignty to the U.N., and plan still
more.
Any informed American is aware that ARTICLE IV, Section 4, of the
Constitution automatically cancels out any allegiance to the U.N. and its
alien one-world Internationalism, the antithesis of Constitutional
Americanism founded on Washington's "NO foreign entanglements."
And that said republican representative form of government is the exact
opposite of the U.N. Charter's Soviet-initiated modifications, restrictions,
and reservations in its various "Conventions" which would nullify our Bill
of Rights. Stalin, his protege, Alger Hiss, and Russian Communist Pasvolsky
figured largely in the writing of the U.N. Charter.
To assume that a heterogeneous body composed of appointed representatives
of foreign governments (some from crude cannibalistic so-called
"States" and others, from virulently atheistic Communist States) which
Governments DO NOT REPRESENT "We the American People" could
exercise dictation and control over U.S. is monstrous in the extreme. Lawfully
or constitutionally, they may not enforce any provisions of the U.N.
246 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Charter against us, or take any action whatever affecting the Sovereign
Rights of American Citizens.
Further, the United Nations is not a lawful government in the accepted
sense of the term and is not a proper body with which to make a treaty.
Actually, the U.N. has NO valid binding treaty-making power except as
the subversive one-worlders try to make it so. Quoting Norton's Constitu-
tion of the United States, at page 14: "A treaty is a written contract between
two governments (not a motley assembly of unstable tribes, or enslaved
peoples calling themselves a 'government') respecting matters of mutual
welfare, such as peace, the acouisition of territory, the defining of boundaries,
the needs of trade, rights of citizenship..." etc.
And such treaties, even though "legally made," MAY be abrogated for
cause. Quoting ibid, p. 115: "A precedent for thus abrogating a treaty made
by the President and approved by the Senate may be found as far back as
July 7, 1789, when Congress passed 'An Act to Declare the Treaties
heretofore concluded with France no longer obligatory on the United States
because they have been repeatedly violated on the part of the French
government." So what about all the violations of the treaties or agreements
made by the USSR, which dominates the U.N.? The USA is vastly
outvoted in this motley aggregation called the United Nations, even as
American taxpayers foot most of the bills, which constitutes Constitution-
ally forbidden confiscation of the citizens' money (property) without just
compensation therefore. This is merely communistic confiscation.
A Treaty made "pursuant to the Constitution" becomes A PART of the
LAW OF THE LAND, and should be honored; but it does NOT become
"Supreme" or take precedence over nor supersede the Constitution. It is
NOT the "Law of the Land" standing alone. And NO Treaty or Executive
Agreement is binding on the USA if made by the President alone (as has
been done) with the advice and consent of the Senate, nor if it violates the
Constitution.
Actually, ARTICLE VI, instead of setting Treaties on high or being a
"death trap," is a statement of the SUPREMACY OF THE CONSTITUTION
and of the NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. Lawful Treaties are a part
of, but subordinate to, the Constitution for the simple stated provision
therein that ALL laws and treaties must be made "in pursuance thereof."
Can the "creature" (or a part) become greater than its CREATOR, or
the whole??? Some American common sense is necessary in all this blather
about the supremacy of treaties, which is promulgated largely by the
one-worlders to discredit or diminish the Constitution so they can achieve
their own ends.
The language and intent of the Constitution and of ARTICLE VI is
Chapter Thirteen Treason in High Places 247
clear and forthright, and does not admit, in good faith, of any other inter-
pretation. But sadly enough, it is well known that many of our highest
judiciary and elected officials in this era of TREASON, not Reason do
not act in good faith nor in "pursuance of the Constitution."
With reference to fourth paragraph your letter Oct. 12th, Mr. Newby,
that the "making of treaties is without limitation, exception or reservation"
and that "no treaty has ever been declared unconstitutional or invalidated
or repealed by the Courts or Congress in the history of this nation," I think
that the foregoing invalidates your statement.
And as to ARTICLE VI being a "deathtrap" over which the Constitu-
tion gives no control or remedy other than its explicit language in VI
regarding the law and treaties: has it occurred to you that the Supreme
Court has power and authority to rule on the constitutionality of treaties
the same as on the constitutionality of any other law treaties being
merely "part of the Law of the Land"? ARTICLE III, Section 2 explicitly
states: "The Judicial power shall extend to all cases, in Law and Equity,
arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and treaties
made, or which shall be made, under their authority." To quote Norton's
Constitution of the United States, page 137: "When a case arises in a State
court and involves a question of the Constitution, or an Act of Congress, or
of a treaty, it is the duty of the court to follow and enforce the National
[Constitional] law; for the Constitution explicitly and emphatically re-
quires that the 'judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in
the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.'"
Any time that the President and Senate make a treaty with a foreign
power (such as the U.N.) which infringes upon or abrogates rights guaran-
teed citizens of the USA under the Constitution, the Supreme Court can
declare such treaty unconstitutional, void, and of no effect. Of course, the
present Supreme Court, being composed of political radicals rather than
judicial Constitutional experts, is not likely to take such action unless
forced to do so by public opinion and demand.
And so, with reference to your statement in printed CHALLENGE for
November, 1961, to the effect that, "under ARTICLE II, Section 2, clause 2
of the Constitution...such treaty (as with the U.N.) can be made without
restriction, limitation, exception or reservation irrespective of the fact that
it contravenes, violates, infringes or alienates every article of the Constitu-
tion. All that is necessary is for the President and Senate to ratify ANY
treaty and it is in force." The above article and clause likewise does not
stand alone, but must be construed in the light of the entire Constitution.
YOUR interpretation is not only to make idiots of the Founding Fathers
and Framers of the Constitution, but to say that regardless of the solemn
248 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Presidential oath of allegiance required by ARTICLE III, Section 2a, regard-
less of the SUPREME SOVEREIGNTY of the U.S. Constitution, and in
violation of the explicit language contained in ARTICLE VI, i.e., "THIS
CONSTITUTION, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in
pursuance thereof; and all treaties...under the authority of the United
States...," as well as all authoritative rulings by genuine Constitutional
authorities to the effect that anything which contravenes the Constitution
of the USA is null and void, including any such acts by the Congress;
despite all of the foregoing. I reiterate that YOUR interpretation would
claim that there is absolutely NO constitutional safeguard for the American
People against TREASONOUS treaties (which "gives aid and comfort to
our enemies" as per ARTICLE III, Section 3).
YOUR interpretation would give complete IMMUNITY to the
maker...of such treaties and would constitute "changing the Constitution
by usurpation" in violation of the intent, spirit, AND letter of the Constitution
as a whole.
The President obviously is NOT a "free agent" by virtue of ARTICLE
II, Section 2, clause 2, to make any sort of treaty he would like, but is
BOUND DOWN by the chains of the entire Constitution. Nothing else
makes any sense. His treaty-making acts are subject to review by the
Courts.
True, we SHOULD DEMAND rescinding of the action by both Senate
and Harry S. Truman in signing the U.N. Participation Act of 1945 in behalf
of the USA. This would put the World on notice that we were once more
HONORING OUR OWN CONSTITUTION (CHARTER OF FREEDOM)
AS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, AND REINSTATING IT TO ITS
FORMER PROPER SUPREME POSITION: as well as reclaiming our
Sovereignty as an Independent Republic in accordance with our Declara-
tion of Independence.
There is not nor ever will be any true Peace, Freedom, Safety or
Security for the American People under the alien U.N. Charter.
There is "NO SUBSTITUTE" for American Independence. Many men
have died and "worms have eaten them" for a far lesser Cause.
And so, Mr. Newby, you and I do have one primary objective in view:
GET THE U.S. OUT OF THE U.N., AND THE SUBVERSIVE U.N. OUT OF
THE USA!
Most sincerely yours,
Marilyn R. Allen
Chapter Thirteen Treason in High Places 249
I guess that just about covers the U.N. Charter vs. U.S. sovereignty hoax. Noone should ever be able to bullshit you on this issue again. Your job now is tomake sure your Congressmen and Senators are educated on this issue.

thereafter one shall be appointed each year; the President shall appoint a Chairman who shall serve for
fifteen years unless removed by him.
SECTION 3. The Chairman shall appoint, and shall supervise, a planning administrator, together
with such deputies as may be agreed to by the Board.
SECTION 4. The Chairman shall present to the Board six-and twelve year development plans

including those of the legislative houses and others authorized by law to be appointed; they shall be
compensated, and none may have other paid occupation unless they be excepted by law; none shall
occupy more than one position in government; and no gift or favor shall be accepted if in any way
related to official duty.
No income from former employments or associations shall continue for their benefits; but their

the commission's report to the Senate. After entertaining, if convenient, petitions for revision, the
Senate shall report whether the recommendations are satisfactory but the President shall decide
whether they shall be accepted or shall be returned for revision.
Existing states shall not be divided unless metropolitan areas extending over more than one state are
to be included in one Newstate, or unless other compelling circumstances exist; and each Newstate

Chapter 15
PROTOCOLS
OF THE
WISE MEN OF ZION
The Protocols of Zion were referred to in the late 1700s. The first copy
available to public scrutiny surfaced in the early 1800s. Every aspect of this
plan to subjugate the world has since become reality, validating the authen-
ticity of conspiracy.
Author's Note: This is an exact reprint of the original text.
This has been written intentionally to deceive people. For
clear understanding, the word "Zion" should be "Sion"; anyreference to "Jews" should be replaced with the word "Il-
luminati"; and the word "goyim" should be replaced with the
word "cattle."
268 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Here is "The Britons" translation of the complete text of the
notorious Nilus "Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion."
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION
PROTOCOL NO. 1
. . . Putting aside fine phrases we shall speak of the significance
of each thought: by comparisons and deductions we shall throw light
upon surrounding facts.
What I am about to set forth, then, is our system from the two
points of view, that of ourselves and that of the goyim (i.e., non-Jews).
It must be noted that men with bad instincts are more in number
than the good, and therefore the best results in governing them are
attained by violence and terrorisation, and not by academic discussions.
Every man aims at power, everyone would like to become a dictator
if only he could, and rare indeed are the men who would not be
willing to sacrifice the welfare of all for the sake of securing their
own welfare.
What has restrained the beasts of prey who are called men? What
has served for their guidance hitherto?
In the beginnings of the structure of society they were subjected
to brutal and blind force; afterwardsto Law, which is the same
force, only disguised. I draw the conclusion that by the law of nature
right lies in force.
Political freedom is an idea but not a fact. This idea one must
know how to apply whenever it appears necessary with this bait of
an idea to attract the masses of the people to one's party for the
purpose of crushing another who is in authority. This task is rendered
easier if the opponent has himself been infected with the idea of
freedom, so-called liberalism, and, for the sake of an idea, is willing
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion
269
to yield some of his power. It is precisely here that the triumph of
our theory appears: the slackened reins of government are immediately,
by the law of life, caught up and gathered together by a new hand,
because the blind might of the nation cannot for one single day exist
without guidance, and the new authority merely fits into the place
of the old already weakened by liberalism.
In our day the power which has replaced that of the rulers who
were liberal is the power of Gold. Time was when Faith ruled. The
idea of freedom is impossible of realisation because no one knows how
to use it with moderation. It is enough to hand over a people to self-
government for a certain length of time for that people to be turned
into a disorganised mob. From that moment on we get internecine
strife which soon develops into battles between classes, in the midst
of which States burn down and their importance is reduced to that
of a heap of ashes.
Whether a State exhausts itself in its own convulsions, whether its
internal discord brings it under the power of external foesin any
case it can be accounted irretrievably lost: it is in our power. The
despotism of Capital, which is entirely in our hands, reaches out to it
a straw that the State, willy-nilly, must take hold of: if notit goes
to the bottom.
Should anyone of a liberal mind say that such reflections as the
above are immoral I would put the following questions:If every
State has two foes and if in regard to the external foe it is allowed
and not considered immoral to use every manner and art of conflict,
as for example to keep the enemy in ignorance of plans of attack and
defence, to attack him by night or in superior numbers, then in what
way can the same means in regard to a worse foe, the destroyer of the
structure of society and the commonweal, be called immoral and not
permissible?
Is it possible for any sound logical mind to hope with any success
to guide crowds by the aid of reasonable counsels and arguments, when
any objection or contradiction, senseless though it may be, can be
made and when such objection may find more favour with the people
whose powers of reasoning are superficial? Men in masses and the men
of the masses, being guided solely by petty passions, paltry beliefs
customs, traditions and sentimental theorism, fall a prey to party distention,
which hinders any kind of agreement even on the basis of a
270 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
perfectly reasonable argument. Every resolution of a crowd depends
upon a chance or packed majority, which, in its ignorance of political
secrets, puts forth some ridiculous resolution that lays in the admin-
istration a seed of anarchy.
The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler
who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is there-
fore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse
both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like
frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers
from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most
powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms
of the goyim, but we must in no wise be guided by them.
Our right lies in force. The word "right" is an abstract thought
and proved by nothing. The word means no more than:Give me
what I want in order that thereby I might have a proof that I am
stronger than you.
Where does right begin? Where does it end?
In any State in which there is a bad organisation of authority, an
impersonality of laws and of the rulers who have lost their personality
amid the flood of rights ever multiplying out of liberalism, I find
a new rightto attack by the right of the strong, and to scatter to
the winds all existing forces of order and regulation, to reconstruct
all institutions and to become the sovereign lord of those who have
left to us the rights of their power by laying them down voluntarily
in their liberalism.
Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power
will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible
until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning
can any longer undermine it.
Out of the temporary evil we are now compelled to commit will
emerge the good of an unshakeable rule, which will restore the regular
course of the machinery of the national life, brought to naught by
liberalism. The result justifies the means. Let us, however, in our plans,
direct our attention not so much to what is good and moral as to what
is necessary and useful.
Before us is a plan in which is laid down strategically the line
from which we cannot deviate without running the risk of seeing the
labour of many centuries brought to naught.
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 271
In order to elaborate satisfactory forms of action it is necessary to
have regard to the rascality, the slackness, the instability of the mob,
its lack of capacity to understand and respect the conditions of its own
life, or its own welfare. It must be understood that the might of a
mob is blind, senseless and unreasoning force ever at the mercy of a
suggestion from any side. The blind cannot lead the blind without
bringing them into the abyss; consequently, members of the mob,
upstarts from the people even though they should be as a genius for
wisdom, yet having no understanding of the political, cannot come
forward as leaders of the mob without bringing the whole nation
to ruin.
Only one trained from childhood for independent rule can have
understanding of the words that can be made up of the political
alphabet.
A people left to itself, i.e., to upstarts from its midst, brings itself
to ruin by party dissensions excited by the pursuit of power and
honours and disorders arising therefrom. Is it possible for the masses
of the people calmly and without petty jealousies to form judgments,
to deal with the affairs of the country, which cannot be mixed up
with personal interests? Can they defend themselves from an external
foe? It is unthinkable, for a plan broken up into as many parts as there
are heads in the mob, loses all homogeneity, and thereby becomes
unintelligible and impossible of execution.
It is only with a despotic ruler that plans can be elaborated exten-
sively and clearly in such a way as to distribute the whole properly
among the several parts of the machinery of the State: from this the
conclusion is inevitable that a satisfactory form of government for
any country is one that concentrates in the hands of one responsible
person. Without an absolute despotism there can be no existence for
civilisation which is carried on not by the masses but by their guide,
whosoever that person may be. The mob is a savage and displays its
savagery at every opportunity. The moment the mob seizes freedom
in its hands it quickly turns to anarchy, which in itself is the highest
degree of savagery.
Behold the alcoholised animals, bemused with drink, the right to
an immoderate use of which comes along with freedom. It is not for
us and ours to walk that road. The peoples of the goyim are bemused
with alcoholic liquors; their youth has grown stupid on classicism and
272 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
from early immorality, into which it has been inducted by our special
agentsby tutors, lackeys, governesses in the houses of the wealthy,
by clerks and others, by our women in the places of dissipation fre-
quented by the goyim. In the number of these last I count also the
so-called "society ladies," voluntary followers of the others in corruption
and luxury.
Our countersign isForce and Make-believe. Only force conquers
in political affairs, especially if it be concealed in the talents essential
to statesmen. Violence must be the principle, and cunning and make-
believe the rule for governments which do not want to lay down their
crowns at the feet of agents of some new power. This evil is the one
and only means to attain the end, the good. Therefore we must not
stop at bribery, deceit and treachery when they should serve towards
the attainment of our end. In politics one must know how to seize the
property of others without hesitation if by it we secure submission
and sovereignty.
Our State, marching along the path of peaceful conquest, has the
right to replace the horrors of war by less noticeable and more satis-
factory sentences of death, necessary to maintain the terror which
tends to produce blind submission. Just but merciless severity is the
greatest factor of strength in the State: not only for the sake of gain
but also in the name of duty, for the sake of victory, we must keep
to the programme of violence and make-believe. The doctrine of
squaring accounts is precisely as strong as the means of which it makes
use. Therefore it is not so much by the means themselves as by the
doctrine of severity that we shall triumph and bring all governments
into subjection to our super-government. It is enough for them to
know that we are merciless for all disobedience to cease.
Far back in ancient times we were the first to cry among the masses
of the people the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," words many
times repeated since those days by stupid poll-parrots who from all
sides round flew down upon these baits and with them carried away
the well-being of the world, true freedom of the individual, formerly
so well guarded against the pressure of the mob. The would-be wise
men of the goyim, the intellectuals, could not make anything out of
the uttered words in their abstractness; did not note the contradiction
of their meaning and inter-relation: did not see that in nature there
is no equality, cannot be freedom: that Nature herself has established
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 273
inequality of minds, of characters, and capacities, just as immutably
as she has established subordination to her laws: never stopped to think
that the mob is a blind thing, that upstarts elected from among it to
bear rule are, in regard to the political, the same blind men as the
mob itself, that the adept, though he be a fool, can yet rule, whereas
the non-adept, even if he were a genius, understands nothing in the
politicalto all these things the goyim paid no regard; yet all the time
it was based upon these things that dynastic rule rested: the father
passed on to the son a knowledge of the course of political affairs in
such wise that none should know it but members of the dynasty and
none could betray it to the governed. As time went on the meaning
of the dynastic transference of the true position of affairs in the political
was lost, and this aided the success of our cause.
In all corners of the earth the words "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"
brought to our ranks, thanks to our blind agents, whole legions who
bore our banners with enthusiasm. And all the time these words were
canker-worms at work boring into the well-being of the goyim, putting
an end everywhere to peace, quiet, solidarity and destroying all the
foundations of the goy States. As you will see later, this helped us
to our triumph; it gave us the possibility, among other things, of
getting into our hands the master cardthe destruction of the privi-
leges, or in other words of the very existence of the aristocracy of
the goyim, that class which was the only defence peoples and countries
had against us. On the ruins of the natural and genealogical aristocracy
of the goyim we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class
headed by the aristocracy of money. The qualifications for this aris-
tocracy we have established in wealth, which is dependent upon us,
and in knowledge, for which our learned elders provide the motive
force.
Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in our relations
with the men whom we wanted we have always worked upon
the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account,
upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man;
and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to
paralyse initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition
of him who has bought their activities.
The abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in
all countries that their government is nothing but the steward of the
274 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
people who are the owners of the country, and that the steward may
be replaced like a worn-out glove.
It is this possibility of replacing the representatives of the people
which has placed them at our disposal, and, as it were, given us the
power of appointment.
PROTOCOL NO. 2
It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as possible,
should not result in territorial gains: war will thus be brought on to
the economic ground, where the nations will not fail to perceive in
the assistance we give the strength of our predominance, and this state
of things will put both sides at the mercy of our international agentur;
which possesses millions of eyes ever on the watch and unhampered
by any limitations whatsoever. Our international rights will then wipe
out national rights, in the proper sense of right, and will rule the
nations precisely as the civil law of States rules the relations of their
subjects among themselves.
The administrators, whom we shall choose from among the public,
with strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will not be
persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore easily
become pawns in our game in the hands of men of learning and genius
who will be their advisers, specialists bred and reared from early
childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well known
to you, these specialists of ours have been drawing to fit them for
rule the information they need from our political plans, from the
lessons of history, from observations made of the events of every
moment as it passes. The goyim are not guided by practical use of
unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine without
any critical regard for consequent results. We need not, therefore,
take any account of themlet them amuse themselves until the hour
strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of enterprising pastime, or on
the memories of all they have enjoyed. For them let that play the
principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates
of science (theory). It is with this object in view that we are constantly,
by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these
theories. The intellectuals of the goyim will puff themselves up with
their knowledge and without any logical verification of it will put
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 275
into effect all the information available from science, which our
agentur specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of
educating their minds in the direction we want.
Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words:
think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism,
Nietzsche-ism. To us Jews, at any rate, it should be plain to see what
a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds
of the goyim.
It is indispensable for us to take account of the thoughts, characters,
tendencies of the nations in order to avoid making slips in the political
and in the direction of administrative affairs. The triumph of our
system, of which the component parts of the machinery may be variously
disposed according to the temperament of the peoples met on
our way, will fail of success if the practical application of it be not
based upon a summing up of the lessons of the past in the light of
the present.
In the hands of the States of to-day there is a great force that
creates the movement of thought in the people, and that is the Press.
The part played by the Press is to keep pointing out requirements
supposed to be indispensable, to give voice to the complaints of the
people, to express and to create discontent. It is in the Press that the
triumph of freedom of speech finds its incarnation. But the goyim
States have not known how to make use of this force; and it has fallen
into our hands. Through the Press we have gained the power to
influence while remaining ourselves in the shade; thanks to the Press
we have got the gold in our hands, notwithstanding that we have had
to gather it out of oceans of blood and tears. But it has paid us, though
we have sacrificed many of our people. Each victim on our side is
worth in the sight of God a thousand goyim.
PROTOCOL NO. 3
To-day I may tell you that our goal is now only a few steps off.
There remains a small space to cross and the whole long path we have
trodden is ready now to close its cycle of the Symbolic Snake, by which
we symbolise our people. When this ring closes, all the States of
Europe will be locked in its coil as in a powerful vice.
The constitution scales of these days will shortly break down, for
we have established them with a certain lack of accurate balance in
276 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
order that they may oscillate incessantly until they wear through the
pivot on which they turn. The goyim are under the impression that
they have welded them sufficiently strong and they have all along kept
on expecting that the scales would come into equilibrium. But the
pivotsthe kings on their thronesare hemmed in by their representatives,
who play the fool, distraught with their own uncontrolled and
irresponsible power. This power they owe to the terror which has
been breathed into the palaces. As they have no means of getting at
their people, into their very midst, the kings on their thrones are no
longer able to come to terms with them and so strengthen themselves
against seekers after power. We have made a gulf between the farseeing
Sovereign Power and the blind force of the people so that both
have lost all meaning, for like the blind man and his stick, both are
powerless apart.
In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have
set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal
tendencies towards independence. To this end we have stirred up every
form of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set up authority
as a target for every ambition. Of States we have made gladiatorial
arenas where a host of confused issues contend .... A little more,
and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal. . . .
Babblers inexhaustible have turned into oratorical contests the sit-
tings of Parliament and Administrative Boards. Bold journalists and
unscrupulous pamphleteers daily fall upon executive officials. Abuses
of power will put the final touch in preparing all institutions for
their overthrow and everything will fly skyward under the blows of
the maddened mob.
All people are chained down to heavy toil by poverty more firmly
than ever they were chained by slavery and serfdom; from these, one
way and another, they might free themselves, these could be settled
with, but from want they will never get away. We have included
in the constitution such rights as to the masses appear fictitious and not
actual rights. All these so-called "People's Rights" can exist only in
idea, an idea which can never be realised in practical life. What is it
to the proletariat labourer, bowed double over his heavy toil, crushed
by his lot in life, if talkers get the right to babble, if journalists get
the right to scribble any nonsense side by side with good stuff, once
the proletariat has no other profit out of the constitution save only
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 277
those pitiful crumbs which we fling them from our table in return
for their voting in favour of what we dictate, in favour of the men
we place in power, the servants of our agentur. . . . Republican rights
for a poor man are no more than a bitter piece of irony, for the
necessity he is under of toiling almost all day gives him no present
use of them, but on the other hand robs him of all guarantee of regular
and certain earnings by making him dependent on strikes by his comrades
or lockouts by his masters.
The people under our guidance have annihilated the aristocracy,
who were their one and only defence and foster-mother for the sake
of their own advantage which is inseparably bound up with the wellbeing
of the people. Nowadays, with the destruction of the aristocracy,
the people have fallen into the grips of merciless money-grinding
scoundrels who have laid a pitiless and cruel yoke upon the necks of
the workers.
We appear on the scene as alleged saviours of the worker from this
oppression when we propose to him to enter the ranks of our fighting
forcesSocialists, Anarchists, Communiststo whom we always give
support in accordance with an alleged brotherly rule (of the solidarity
of all humanity) of our social masonry. The aristocracy, which enjoyed
by law the labour of the workers, was interested in seeing that the
workers were well fed, healthy and strong. We are interested in just
the oppositein the diminution, the killing out of the GOYIM. Our
power is in the chronic shortness of food and physical weakness of the
worker because by all that this implies he is made the slave of our
will, and he will not find in his own authorities either strength or
energy to set against our will. Hunger creates the right of capital
to rule the worker more surely than it was given to the aristocracy by
the legal authority of kings.
By want and the envy and hatred which it engenders we shall move
the mobs and with their hands we shall wipe out all those who hinder
us on our way.
When the hour strikes for our Sovereign Lord of all the World to
be crowned it is these same hands which will sweef away everything
that might be a hindrance thereto.
The goyim have lost the habit of thinking unless prompted by the
suggestions of our specialists. Therefore they do not see the urgent
necessity of what we, when our kingdom comes, shall adopt at once,
278 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
namely this, that it is essential to teach in national schools one simple,
true piece of knowledge, the basis of all knowledgethe knowledge of
the structure of human life, of social existence, which requires division of
labour, and, consequently, the division of men into classes and conditions.
It is essential for all to know that owing to difference in the objects
of human activity there cannot be any equality, that he who by any
act of his compromises a whole class cannot be equally responsible
before the law with him who affects no one but only his own honour.
The true knowledge of the structure of society, into the secrets of
which we do not admit the goyim, would demonstrate to all men that
the positions and work must be kept within a certain circle, that they
may not become a source of human suffering, arising from an education
which does not correspond with the work which individuals are called
upon to do. After a thorough study of this knowledge the peoples will
voluntarily submit to authority and accept such position as is appointed
them in the State. In the present state of knowledge and the direction
we have given to its development the people, blindly believing things
in printcherishesthanks to promptings intended to mislead and to
its own ignorancea blind hatred towards all conditions which it
considers above itself, for it has no understanding of the meaning of
class and condition.
This hatred will be still further magnified by the effects of an
economic crisis, which will stop dealings on the exchanges and bring
industry to a standstill. We shall create by all the secret subterranean
methods open to us and with the aid of gold, which is all in our hands,
a universal economic crisis whereby we shall throw upon the streets
whole mobs of workers simultaneously in all the countries of Europe.
These mobs will rush delightedly to shed the blood of those whom,
in the simplicity of their ignorance, they have envied from their
cradles, and whose property they will then be able to loot.
"Ours" they will not touch, because the moment of attack will be
known to us and we shall take measures to protect our own.
We have demonstrated that progress will bring all the goyim to
the sovereignty of reason. Our despotism will be precisely that; for
it will know how by wise severities to pacificate all unrest, to cauterise
liberalism out of all institutions.
When the populace has seen that all sorts of concessions and indul-
gences are yielded it in the name of freedom it has imagined itself
Chapter l5 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 279
to be sovereign lord and has stormed its way to power, but, naturally,
like every other blind man it has come upon a host of stumbling
blocks, it has rushed to find a guide, it has never had the sense to
return to the former state and it has laid down its plenipotentiary
powers at our feet. Remember the French Revolution, to which it was
we who gave the name of "Great": the secrets of its preparations are well
known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands.
Ever since that time we have been leading the peoples from one
disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also
from us in favour of that King-Despot of the blood of Zion, whom
we are preparing for the world.
At the present day we are, as an international force, invincible,
because if attacked by some we are supported by other States. It is
the bottomless rascality of the goyim peoples, who crawl on their
bellies to force, but are merciless towards weakness, unsparing to
faults and indulgent to crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions
of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence
of a bold despotismit is those qualities which are aiding us to
independence. From the premier-dictators of the present day the goyim
peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuses as for the least of them
they would have beheaded twenty kings.
What is the explanation of this phenomenon, this curious inconsequence
of the masses of the peoples in their attitude towards what
would appear to be events of the same order?
It is explained by the fact that these dictators whisper to the peoples
through their agents that through these abuses they are inflicting
injury on the States with the highest purposeto secure the welfare
of the peoples, the international brotherhood of them all, their
solidarity and equality of rights. Naturally they do not tell the peoples
that this unification must be accomplished only under our sovereign
rule.
And thus the people condemn the upright and acquit the guilty,
persuaded ever more and more that it can do whatsoever it wishes.
Thanks to this state of things the people are destroying every kind
of stability and creating disorders at every step.
The word "freedom" brings out the communities of men to fight
against every kind of force, against every kind of authority, even
280 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
against God and the laws of nature. For this reason we, when we come
into our kingdom, shall have to erase this word from the lexicon of
life as implying a principle of brute force which turns mobs into
bloodthirsty beasts.
These beasts, it is true, fall asleep again every time when they
have drunk their fill of blood, and at such times can easily be riveted
into their chains. But if they be not given blood they will not sleep
and continue to struggle.
PROTOCOL NO. 4
Every republic passes through several stages. The first of these is
comprised in the early days of mad raging by the blind mob, tossed
hither and thither, right and left: the second is demagogy, from which
is born anarchy, and that leads inevitably to despotismnot any longer
legal and overt, and therefore responsible despotism, but to unseen
and secretly hidden, yet nevertheless sensibly felt despotism in the
hands of some secret organisation or other, whose acts are the more
unscrupulous inasmuch as it works behind a screen, behind the backs
of all sorts of agents, the changing of whom not only does not
injuriously affect but actually aids the secret force by saving it, thanks
to continual changes, from the necessity of expending its resources on
the rewarding of long services.
Who and what is in a position to overthrow an invisible force? And
this is precisely what our force is. Gentile masonry blindly serves as
a screen for us and our objects, but the plan of action of our force,
even its very abiding-place, remains for the whole people an unknown
mystery.
But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State
economy without injury to the well-being of the peoples if it rested
upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the brotherhood of
humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality, which is
negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established sub-
ordination. With such a faith as this a people might be governed by
a wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly and humbly under
the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions
of God upon earth. This is the reason why it is indispensable for us
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 281
to undermine all faith, to tear out of the minds of the GOYIM the
very principle of Godhead and the spirit, and to put in its place
arithmetical calculations and material needs.
In order to give the goyim no time to think and take note, their
minds must be diverted towards industry and trade. Thus, all the
nations will be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and in the race
for it will not take note of their common foe. But again, in order
that freedom may once for all disintegrate and ruin the communities
of the goyim, we must put industry on a speculative basis: the result
of this will be that what is withdrawn from the land by industry will
slip through the hands and pass into speculation, that is, to our classes.
The intensified struggle for superiority and shocks delivered to economic
life will create, nay, have already created, disenchanted, cold
and heartless communities. Such communities will foster a strong
aversion towards the higher political and towards religion. Their only
guide is gain, that is Gold, which they will erect into a veritable
cult, for the sake of those material delights which it can give. Then
will the hour strike when, not for the sake of attaining the good, not
even to win wealth, but solely out of hatred towards the privileged,
the lower classes of the goyim will follow our lead against our rivals
for power, the intellectuals of the goyim.
PROTOCOL NO. 5
What form of administrative rule can be given to communities in
which corruption has penetrated everywhere, communities where riches
are attained only by the clever surprise tactics of semi-swindling
tricks; where looseness reigns: where morality is maintained by penal
measures and harsh laws but not by voluntary accepted principles:
where the feelings towards faith and country are obliterated by cos-
mopolitan convictions? What form of rule is to be given to these
communities if not that despotism which I shall describe to you
later? We shall create an intensified centralisation of government
in order to grip in our hands all the forces of the community.
We shall regulate mechanically all the actions of the political life
of our subjects by new laws. These laws will withdraw one by one
all the indulgences and liberties which have been permitted by the
goyim, and our kingdom will be distinguished by a despotism of such
282 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
magnificent proportions as to be at any moment and in every place in
a position to wipe out any goyim who oppose us by deed or word.
We shall be told that such a despotism as I speak of is not con-
sistent with the progress of these days, but I will prove to you that it is.
In the times when the peoples looked upon kings on their thrones
as on a pure manifestation of the will of God, they submitted without
a murmur to the despotic power of kings: but from the day when we
insinuated into their minds the conception of their own rights they
began to regard the occupants of thrones as mere ordinary mortals.
The holy unction of the Lord's Anointed has fallen from the heads
of kings in the eyes of the people, and when we also robbed them of
their faith in God the might of power was flung upon the streets
into the place of public proprietorship and was seized by us.
Moreover, the art of directing masses and individuals by means of
cleverly manipulated theory and verbiage, by regulations of life in
common and all sorts of other quirks, in all which the goyim understand
nothing, belongs likewise to the specialists of our administrative
brain. Reared on analysis, observation, on delicacies of fine calculation,
in this species of skill we have no rivals, any more than we have
either in the drawing up of plans of political actions and solidarity.
In this respect the Jesuits alone might have compared with us, but we
have contrived to discredit them in the eyes of the unthinking mob as
an overt organisation, while we ourselves all the while have kept our
secret organisation in the shade. However, it is probably all the same
to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism
or our despot of the blood of Zion! But to us, the Chosen People,
it is very far from being a matter of indifference.
For a time perhaps we might be successfully dealt with by a coalition
of the GOYIM of all the world: but from this danger we are secured
by the discord existing among them whose roots are so deeply seated
that they can never now be plucked up. We have set one against another
the personal and national reckonings of the goyim, religious and race
hatreds, which we have fostered into a huge growth in the course of
the past twenty centuries. This is the reason why there is not one
State which would anywhere receive support if it were to raise its arm,
for every one of them must bear in mind that any agreement against
us would be unprofitable to itself. We are too strongthere is no
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 283
evading our power. The nations cannot come to even an inconsiderable
private agreement without our secretly having a hand in it.
Per Me reges regnant. "It is through Me that Kings reign." And
it was said by the prophets that we were chosen by God Himself to
rule over the whole earth. God has endowed us with genius that we
may be equal to our task. Were genius in the opposite camp it would
still struggle against us, but even so a newcomer is no match for the
old-established settler: the struggle would be merciless between us,
such a fight as the world has never yet seen. Aye, and the genius on
their side would have arrived too late. All the wheels of the machinery
of all States go by the force of the engine, which is in our hands, and
that engine of the machinery of States isGold. The science of
political economy invented by our learned elders has for long past
been giving royal prestige to capital.
Capital, if it is to co-operate untrammelled, must be free to establish
a monopoly of industry and trade: this is already being put in execu-
tion by an unseen hand in all quarters of the world. This freedom
will give political force to those engaged in industry, and that will
help to oppress the people. Nowadays it is more important to disarm
the peoples than to lead them into war: more important to use for
our advantage the passions which have burst into flames than to quench
their fire: more important to catch up and interpret the ideas of others
to suit ourselves than to eradicate them. The principal object of our
directorate consists in this: to debilitate the public mind by criticism;
to lead it away from serious reflections calculated to arouse resistance;
to distract the forces of the mind towards a sham fight of empty
eloquence.
In all ages the peoples of the world, equally with individuals, have
accepted words for deeds, for they are content with a show and
rarely pause to note, in the public arena, whether promises are followed
by performance. Therefore we shall establish show institutions which
will give eloquent proof of their benefit to progress.
We shall assume to ourselves the liberal physiognomy of all parties,
of all directions, and we shall give that physiognomy a voice in orators
who will speak so much that they will exhaust the patience of their
hearers and produce an abhorrence of oratory.
In order to put public opinion into our hands we must bring it into
284 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
a state of bewilderment by giving expression from all sides to so many
contradictory opinions and for such length of time as will suffice to
make the GOYIM lose their heads in the labyrinth and come to see that
the best thing is to have no opinion of any kind in matters political,
which it is not given to the public to understand, because they are
understood only by him who guides the public. This is the first secret.
The second secret requisite for the success of our government is
comprised in the following: To multiply to such an extent national
failings, habits, passions, conditions of civil life, that it will be
impossible for anyone to know where he is in the resulting chaos, so
that the people in consequence will fail to understand one another.
This measure will also serve us in another way, namely, to sow discord
in all parties, to dislocate all collective forces which are still unwilling
to submit to us, and to discourage any kind of personal initiative which
might in any degree hinder our affair. There is nothing more danger-
ous than personal initiative; if it has genius behind it, such initiative
can do more than can be done by millions of people among whom
we have sown discord. We must so direct the education of the goyim
communities that whenever they come upon a matter requiring initia-
tive they may drop their hands in despairing impotence. The strain
which results from freedom of action saps the forces when it meets
with the freedom of another. From this collision arise grave moral
shocks, disenchantments, failures. By all these means toe shall so wear
down the goyim that they will be compelled to offer us international
power of a nature that by its position will enable us without any
violence gradually to absorb all the State forces of the world and to
form a Super-Government. In place of the rulers of to-day we shall
set up a bogey which will be called the Super-Government Admin-
istration. Its hands will reach out in all directions like nippers and
its organisation will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail
to subdue all the nations of the world.
PROTOCOL NO. 6
We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, reservoirs of
colossal riches, upon which even large fortunes of the goyim will
depend to such an extent that they will go to the bottom together with
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 285
the credit of the States on the day after the political smash. . . .
You gentlemen here present who are economists, just strike an
estimate of the significance of this combination! . . .
In every possible way we must develop the significance of our
Super-Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor
of all those who voluntarily submit to us.
The aristocracy of the goyim as a political force, is deadwe need
not take it into account; but as landed proprietors they can still be
harmful to us from the fact that they are self-sufficing in the resources
upon which they live. It is essential therefore for us at whatever cost
to deprive them of their land. This object will be best attained by
increasing the burdens upon landed propertyin loading lands with
debts. These measures will check land-holding and keep it in a state
of humble and unconditional submission.
The aristocrats of the goyim, being hereditarily incapable of contenting
themselves with little, will rapidly burn up and fizzle out.
At the same time we must intensively patronise trade and industry,
but, first and foremost, speculation, the part played by which is to
provide a counterpoise to industry: the absence of speculative industry
will multiply capital in private hands and will serve to restore agri-
culture by freeing the land from indebtedness to the land banks.
What we want is that industry should drain off from the land both
labour and capital and by means of speculation transfer into our hands
all the money of the world, and thereby throw all the goyim into
the ranks of the proletariat. Then the goyim will bow down before
us, if for no other reason but to get the right to exist.
To complete the ruin of the industry of the goyim we shall bring
to the assistance of speculation the luxury which we have developed
among the goyim, that greedy demand for luxury which is swallowing
up everything. We shall raise the rate of wages which, however, will
not bring any advantage to the workers, for, at the same time, we
shall produce a rise in prices of the first necessaries of life, alleging
that it arises from the decline of agriculture and cattle-breeding: we
shall further undermine artfully and deeply sources of production, by
accustoming the workers to anarchy and to drunkenness and side by side
therewith taking all measure to extirpate from the face of the earth
all the educated forces of the GOYIM.
In order that the true meaning of things may not strike the GOYIM
286 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
before the proper time we shall mask it under an alleged ardent desire
to serve the working classes and the great principles of political economy
about which our economic theories are carrying on an energetic
propaganda.
PROTOCOL NO. 7
The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces
are all essential for the completion of the aforementioned plans.
What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the
world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few
millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe,
in other continents also, we must create ferments, discords and hos-
tility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In the first place we keep
in check all countries, for they well know that we have the power
whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All these
countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion.
In the second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads
which we have stretched into the cabinets of all States by means of
politics, by economic treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed
in this we must use great cunning and penetration during negotiations
and agreements, but, as regards what is called the "official
language," we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask
of honesty and compliancy. In this way the peoples and governments
of the goyim, whom we have taught to look only at the outside of what-
ever we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the
benefactors and saviours of the human race.
We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by
war with the neighbours of that country which dares to oppose us:
but if these neighbours should also venture to stand collectively together
against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.
The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its
undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.
We must compel the governments of the goyim to take action in
the direction favoured by our widely conceived plan, already approaching
the desired consummation, by what we shall represent as
public opinion, secretly prompted by us through the means of that
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 287
so-called "Great Power"the Press, which, with a few exceptions
that may be disregarded, is already entirely in our hands.
In a word, to sum up our system of keeping the governments of the
goyim in Europe in check, we shall show our strength to one of them
by terrorist attempts and to all, if we allow the possibility of a general
rising against us, we shall respond with the guns of America or China
or Japan.
PROTOCOL NO. 8
We must arm ourselves with all the weapons which our opponents
might employ against us. We must search out in the very finest shades
of expression and the knotty points of the lexicon of law justification
for those cases where we shall have to pronounce judgments that might
appear abnormally audacious and unjust, for it is important that these
resolutions should be set forth in expressions that shall seem to be
the most exalted moral principles cast into legal form. Our directorate
must surround itself with all these forces of civilisation among which
it will have to Work. It will surround itself with publicists, practical
jurists, administrators, diplomats and, finally, with persons prepared
by a special super-educational training in our sfecial schools. These
persons will have cognisance of all the secrets of the social structure,
they will know all the languages that can be made up by political
alphabets and words; they will be made acquainted with the whole
underside of human nature, with all its sensitive chords on which
they will have to play. These chords are the cast of mind of the goyim,
their tendencies, shortcomings, vices and qualities, the particularities
of classes and conditions. Needless to say that the talented assistants
of authority, of whom I speak, will be taken not from among the
goyim, who are accustomed to perform their administrative work with-
out giving themselves the trouble to think what its aim is, and never
consider what it is needed for. The administrators of the goyim sign
papers without reading them, and they serve either for mercenary
reasons or from ambition.
We shall surround our government with a whole world of economists.
That is the reason why economic sciences form the principal
subject of the teaching given to the Jews. Around us again will be
a whole constellation of bankers, industrialists, capitalists andthe
288 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
main thingmillionaires, because in substance everything will be settled
by the question of figures.
For a time, until there will no longer be any risk in entrusting
responsible posts in our States to our brother-Jews, we shall put them
in the hands of persons whose past and reputation are such that
between them and the people lies an abyss, persons who, in case of
disobedience to our instructions, must face criminal charges or disappear
this in order to make them defend our interest to their last
gasp.
PROTOCOL NO. 9
In applying our principles let attention be paid to the character of
the people in whose country you live and act; a general, identical
application of them, until such time as the people shall have been
re-educated to our pattern, cannot have success. But by approaching
their application cautiously you will see that not a decade will pass before
the most stubborn character will change and we shall add a new
people to the ranks of those already subdued by us.
The words of the liberal, which are in effect the words of our
masonic watchword, namely, "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," will,
when we come into our kingdom, be changed by us into words no
longer of a watchword, but only an expression of idealism, namely,
into: "The" right of liberty, the duty of equality, the ideal of brotherhood."
That is how we shall put it,and so we shall catch the bull
by the horns. . . . De facto we have already wiped out every kind of
rule except our own, although de jure there still remain a good many
of them. Nowadays, if any States raise a protest against us it is only
pro forma at our discretion and by our direction, for their anti-
Semitism is indisfensable to us for the management of our lesser
brethren. I will not enter into further explanations, for this matter has
formed the subject of repeated discussions amongst us.
For us there are no checks to limit the range of our activity. Our
Super-Government subsists in extra-legal conditions which are described
in the accepted terminology by the energetic and forcible word
Dictatorship. I am in a position to tell you with a clear conscience that
at the proper time we, the law-givers, shall execute judgment and
sentence, we shall slay and we shall spare, we, as head of all our
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 289
troops, are mounted on the steed of the leader. We rule by force of
will, because in our hands are the fragments of a once powerful party,
now vanquished by us. And the weapons in our hands are limitless
ambitions, burning greediness, merciless vengeance, hatreds and malice.
It is from us that the all-engulfing terror proceeds. We have in
our service fersons of all opinions, of all doctrines, restorating monarchists,
demagogues, socialists, communists, and utopian dreamers of
every kind. We have harnessed them all to the task: each one of them
on his own account is boring away at the last remnants of authority,
is striving to overthrow all established form of order. By these acts all
States are in torture; they exhort to tranquillity, are ready to sacrifice
everything for peace: but we will not give them peace until they
openly acknowledge our international Super-Government, and with
submissiveness.
The people have raised a howl about the necessity of settling the
question of Socialism by way of an international agreement. Division
into fractional parties has given them into our hands, for, in order to
carry on a contested struggle one must have money, and the money
is all in our hands.
We might have reason to apprehend a union between the "clear-
sighted" force of the goy kings on their thrones and the "blind"
force of the goy mobs, but we have taken all the needful measure
against any such possibility: between the one and the other force we
have erected a bulwark in the shape of a mutual terror between
them. In this way the blind force of the people remains our support
and we, and we only, shall provide them with a leader and, of course,
direct them along the road that leads to our goal.
In order that the hand of the blind mob may not free itself from
our guiding hand, we must every now and then enter into close communion
with it, if not actually in person, at any rate through some
of the most trusty of our brethren. When we are acknowledged as
the only authority we shall discuss with the people personally on the
market places, and we shall instruct them on questions of the political
in such wise as may turn them in the direction that suits us.
Who is going to verify what is taught in the village schools? But
what an envoy of the government or a king on his throne himself may
say cannot but become immediately known to the whole State, for it
will be spread abroad by the voice of the people.
In order not to annihilate the inititutions of the goyim before it
290 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
is time we have touched them with craft and delicacy, and have taken
hold of the ends of the springs which move their mechanism. These
springs lay in a strict but just sense of order; we have replaced them
by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our hands into the
administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press,
into liberty of the person, but principally into education and training
as being the corner-stones of a free existence.
We have fooled, bemused and corrupted the youth of the GOYIM
by rearing them in principles and theories which are known to us to
be false although it is by. us that they have been inculcated.
Above the existing laws without substantially altering them, and
by merely twisting them into contradictions of interpretations, we have
erected something grandiose in the way of results. These results found
expression first in the fact that the interpretations masked the laws:
afterwards they entirely hid them from the eyes of the governments
owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the tangled web
of legislation.
This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.
You may say the goyim will rise upon us, arms in hand, if
they guess what is going on before the time comes; but in the West
we have against this a manoeuvre of such appalling terror that the
very stoutest hearts quailthe undergrounds, metropolitains, those
subterranean corridors which, before the time comes, will be driven
under all the capitals and from whence those capitals will be blown
into the air with all their organisations and archives.
PROTOCOL NO. 10
To-day I begin with a repetition of what I said before, and I beg
you to bear in mind that governments and peoples are content in the
political with outside appearances. And how, indeed, are the goyim to
perceive the underlying meaning of things when their representa-
tives give the best of their energies to enjoying themselves? For our
policy it is of the greatest importance to take cognisance of this detail;
it will be of assistance to us when we come to consider the division
of authority, freedom of speech, of the press, of religion (faith),
of the law of association, of equality before the law, of the inviolability
of property, of the dwelling, of taxation (the idea of concealed
C hapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 291
taxes), of the reflex force of the laws. All these questions are such as
ought not to be touched upon directly and openly before the people.
In cases where it is indispensable to touch upon them they must
not be categorically named, it must merely be declared without detailed
exposition that the principles of contemporary law are acknowledged
by us. The reason of keeping silence in this respect is that by not
naming a principle we leave ourselves freedom of action, to drop this
or that out of it without attracting notice; if they were all categorically
named they would all appear to have been already given.
The mob cherishes a special affection and respect for the geniuses
of political power and accepts all their deeds of violence with the
admiring response: "rascally, well, yes, it is rascally, but it's clever!
... a trick, if you like, but how craftily played, how magnificently
done, what impudent audacity!" . . .
We count upon attracting all nations to the task of erecting the
new fundamental structure, the project for which has been drawn
up by us. This is why, before everything, it is indispensable for us
to arm ourselves and to store up in ourselves that absolutely reckless
audacity and irresistible might of the spirit which in the person of our
active workers will break down all hindrances on our way.
When we have accomplished our coup d'etat we shall say then to
the various peoples: "Everything has gone terribly badly, all have been
worn out with sufferings. We are destroying the causes of your tor-
mentnationalities, frontiers, differences of coinages. You are at
liberty, of course, to fronounce sentence upon us, but can it possibly
be a just one if it is confirmed by you before you make any trial of
what we are offering you." . . . Then will the mob exalt us and bear
us up in their hands in a unanimous triumph of hopes and expectations.
Voting, which we have made the instrument which will set us
on the throne of the world by teaching even the very smallest units
of members of the human race to vote by means of meetings and
agreements by groups, will then have served its purposes and will play
its part then for the last time by a unanimity of desire to make close
acquaintance with us before condemning us.
To secure this we must have everybody vote without distinction of
classes and qualifications, in order to establish an absolute majority,
which cannot be got from the educated propertied classes. In this way,
by inculcating in all a sense of self-importance, we shall destroy among
292 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
the goyim the importance of the family and its educational value and
remove the possibility of individual minds splitting off, for the mob,
handled by us, will not let them come to the front nor even give
them a hearing; it is accustomed to listen to us only who pay it for
obedience and attention. In this way we shall create a blind, mighty
force which will never be in a position to move in any direction
without the guidance of our agents set at its head by us as leaders of
the mob. The people will submit to this regime because it will know
that upon these leaders will depend its earnings, gratifications and the
receipt of all kinds of benefits.
A scheme of government should come ready made from one brain,
because it will never be clinched firmly if it is allowed to be split
into fractional parts in the minds of many. It is allowable, therefore,
for us to have cognisance of the scheme of action but not to discuss it
lest we disturb its artfulness, the interdependence of its component
parts, the practical force of the secret meaning of each clause. To
discuss and make alterations in a labour of this kind by means of
numerous votings is to impress upon it the stamp of all ratiocinations
and misunderstandings which have failed to penetrate the depth and
nexus of its plottings. We want our schemes to be forcible and suitably
concocted. Therefore WE OUGHT NOT TO FLING THE WORK
OF GENIUS OF OUR GUIDE to the fangs of the mob or even
of a select company.
These schemes will not turn existing institutions upside down just
yet. They will only affect changes in their economy and consequently
in the whole combined movement of their progress, which will thus
be directed along the paths laid down in our schemes.
Under various names there exists in all countries approximately one
and the same thing. Representation, Ministry, Senate, State Council,
Legislative and Executive Corps. I need not explain to you the
mechanism of the relation of these institutions to one another, because
you are aware of all that; only take note of the fact that each of the
above-named institutions corresponds to some important function of the
State, and I would beg you to remark that the word "important" I apply
not to the institution but to the function, consequently it is not the
institutions which are important but their functions. These institutions
have divided up among themselves all the functions of government
administrative, legislative, executive, wherefore they have come to
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion . 293
operate as do the organs in the human body. If we injure one part in
the machinery of State, the State falls sick, like a human body, and
will die.
When we introduced into the State organism the poison of Liberal
ism its whole political complexion underwent a change. -States have
been seized with a mortal illnessblood-poisoning. All that remains
is to await the end of their death agony.
Liberalism produced Constitutional States, which took the place of
what was the only safeguard of the goyim, namely, Despotism; and a
constitution, as you well know, is nothing else but a school of discords,
misunderstandings, quarrels, disagreements, fruitless party agitations,
party whimsin a word, a school of everything that serves to destroy
the personality of State activity. The tribune of the "talkeries" has, no
less effectively than the Press, condemned the rulers to inactivity and
impotence, and thereby rendered them useless and superfluous, for which
reason indeed they have been in many countries deposed. Then it was
that the era of republics became possible of realisation; and then it was
that we replaced the ruler by a caricature of a governmentby a
president, taken from the mob, from the midst of our puppet creatures,
our slaves. This was the foundation of the mine which we have laid
under the goy people, I should rather say, under the goy peoples.
In the near future we shall establish the resp6nsibility of presidents.
By that time we shall be in a position to disregard forms in carrying
through matters for which our personal puppet will be responsible.
What do we care if the ranks of those striving for power should be
thinned, if there should arise a deadlock from the impossibility of
finding presidents, a deadlock which will finally disorganize the country?
In order that our scheme may produce this result we shall arrange
elections in favour of such presidents as have in their past some dark,
undiscovered stain, some "Panama" or otherthen they will be trust-
worthy agents for the accomplishment of our plans out of fear of
revelations and from the natural desire of everyone who has attained
power, namely, the retention of privileges, advantages and honour
connected with the office of president. The chamber of deputies will
provide cover for, will protect, will elect the president, but we shall take
from it the right to propose new, or make changes in existing laws,
for this right will be given by us to the responsible president, a puppet
294 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
in our hands. Naturally, the authority of the president will then
become a target for every possible form of attack, but we shall provide
him with a means of self-defence in the right of an appeal to the
people, for the decision of the people over the heads of their repre-
sentatives, that is to say, an appeal to that same blind slave of ours
the majority of the mob. Independently of this we shall invest the
president with the right of declaring a state of war. We shall justify
this last right on the ground that the president as chief of the whole
army of the country must have it at his disposal, in case of need for the
defence of the new republican constitution, the right to defend which
will belong to him as the responsible representative of this constitution.
It is easy to understand that in these conditions the key of the
shrine will lie in our hands, and no one outside of ourselves will any
longer direct the force of legislation.
Besides this we shall, with the introduction of the new republican
constitution, take from the Chamber the right of interpellation on
government measures, on the pretext of preserving political secrecy,
and, further, we shall by the new constitution reduce the number of
representatives to a minimum, thereby proportionately reducing political
passions and the passion for politics. If, however, they should,
which is hardly to be expected, burst into flame, even in this mini-
mum, we shall nullify them by a stirring appeal and a reference to
the majority of the whole people. . . . Upon the president will
depend the appointment of presidents and vice-presidents of the Chamber
and the Senate. Instead of constant sessions of Parliaments we shall
reduce their sittings to a few months. Moreover, the president, as
chief of the executive power, will have the right to summon and
dissolve Parliament, and, in the latter case, to prolong the time for
the appointment of a new parliamentary assembly. But in order that
the consequences of all these acts which in substance are illegal, should
not, prematurely for our plans, fall upon the responsibility established
by us of the president, toe shall instigate ministers and other officials
of the higher administration about the president to evade his disposi-
tions by taking measures of their own, for doing which they will be
made the scapegoats in his place. . . . This part we especially recommend
to be given to be played by the Senate, the Council of State,
or the Council of Ministers, but not to an individual official.
The president will, at our discretion, interpret the sense of such
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 295
of the existing laws as admit of various interpretation; he will further
annul them when we indicate to him the necessity to do so, besides
this, he will have the right to propose temporary laws, and even new
departures in the government constitutional working, the pretext both
for the one and other being the requirements for the supreme welfare
of the State.
By such measures we shall obtain the power of destroying little by
little, step by step, all that at the outset when we enter on our rights,
we are compelled to introduce into the constitutions of States to prepare
for the transition to an imperceptible abolition of every kind of
constitution, and then the time is come to turn every form of government
into our despotism.
The recognition of our despot may also come before the destruction
of the constitution; the moment for this recognition will come when
the peoples, utterly wearied by the irregularities and incompetence
a matter which we shall arrange forof their rulers, will clamour:
"Away with them and give us one king over all the earth who will
unite us and annihilate the causes of discordsfrontiers, nationalities,
religions, State debtswho will give us peace and quiet, which we
cannot find under our rulers and representatives."
But you yourselves perfectly well know that to produce the possi-
bility of the expression of such wishes by all the nations it is indis-
pensable to trouble in all countries the people's relations with their
governments so as to utterly exhaust humanity with dissension, hatred,
struggle, envy and even by the use of torture, by starvation, BY THE
INOCULATION OF DISEASES, by want, so that the GOYIM see no
other issue than to take refuge in our complete sovereignty in money
and in all else.
But if we give the nations of the world a breathing space the
moment we long for is hardly likely ever to arrive.
PROTOCOL NO. 11
The State Council has been, as it were, the emphatic expression of
the authority of the ruler: it will be, as the "show" part of the
Legislative Corps, what may be called the editorial committee of the
laws and decrees of the ruler.
This, then, is the programme of the new constitution. We shall
296 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
make Law, Right and Justice (1) in the guise of proposals to the
Legislative Corps, (2) by decrees of the president under the guise of
general regulations, of orders of the Senate and of resolutions of the
State Council in the guise of ministerial orders, (3) and in case a
suitable occasion should arisein the form of a revolution in the
State.
Having established approximately the modus agendi we will occupy
ourselves with details of those combinations by which we have still
to complete the revolution in the course of the machinery of State in
the direction already indicated. By these combinations I mean the
freedom of the Press, the right of association, freedom of conscience,
the voting principle, and many another that must disappear for ever
from the memory of man, or undergo a radical alteration the day
after the promulgation of the new constitution. It is only at that
moment that we shall be able at once to announce all our orders, for,
afterwards, every noticeable alteration will be dangerous, for the following
reasons: if this alteration be brought in with harsh severity
and in a sense of severity and limitations, it may lead to a feeling of
despair caused by fear of new alterations in the same direction; if,
on the other hand, it be brought in in a sense of further indulgences
it will be said that we have recognised our own wrongdoing and this
will destroy the prestige of the infallibility of our authority, or else
it will be said that we have become alarmed and are compelled to show
a yielding disposition, for which we shall get no thanks because it will
be supposed to be compulsory. . . . Both the one and the other are
injurious to the prestige of the new constitution. What we want is
that from the first moment of its promulgation, while the peoples of
the world are still stunned by the accomplished fact of the revolution,
still in a condition of terror and uncertainty, they should recognise
once for all that we are so strong, so inexpugnable, so superabundantly
filled with power, that in no case shall we take any account of them,
and so far from paying any attention to their opinions or wishes, we
are ready and able to crush with irresistible power all expression or
manifestation thereof at every moment and in every place, that we
have seized at once everything we wanted and shall in no case divide
our power with them. . . . Then in fear and trembling they will close
their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the
end of it all.
Chapter l5 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 297
The goyim are a flock of sheep, and we are their wolves. And you
know what happens when the wolves get hold of the flock? . . .
There is another reason also why they will close their eyes: for we
shall keep promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken
away as soon as we have quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all
parties. . . .
It is not worth while to say anything about how long a time they
will be kept waiting for this return of their liberties. . . .
For what purpose then have we invented this whole policy and
insinuated it into the minds of the goys without giving them any
chance to examine its underlying meaning? For what, indeed, if not
in order to obtain in a roundabout way what is for our scattered tribe
unattainable by the direct road? It is this which has served as the basis
for our organisation of SECRET MASONRY WHICH IS NOT
KNOWN TO, AND AIMS WHICH ARE NOT EVEN SO MUCH
AS SUSPECTED BY, THESE GOY CATTLE, ATTRACTED BY
US INTO THE "SHOW ARMY OF MASONIC LODGES IN
ORDER TO THROW DUST IN THE EYES OF THEIR FEL-
LOWS.
God has granted to us, His Chosen People, the gift of the dispersion,
and in this which appears in all eyes to be our weakness, has
come forth all our strength, which has now brought us to the threshold
of sovereignty over all the world.
There now remains not much more for us to build up upon the
foundation we have laid.
PROTOCOL NO. 12
The word "freedom," which can be interpreted in various ways, is
defined by us as follows:
Freedom is the right to do that which the law allows. This interpretation
of the word will at the proper time be of service to us, because
all freedom will thus be in our hands, since the laws will abolish or
create only that which is desirable for us according to the aforesaid
programme.
We shall deal with the press in the following way: What is the
part played by the press to-day? It serves to excite and inflame those
passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends
of parties. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious, and the majority of
298 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
the public have not the slightest idea what ends the press really serves.
We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall do the same
also with all productions of the printing press, for where would be
the sense of getting rid of the attacks of the press if we remain
targets for pamphlets and boob? The produce of publicity, which
nowadays is a source of heavy expense owing to the necessity of censor-
ing it, will be turned by us into a very lucrative source of income to
our State: we shall lay on it a special stamp tax and require deposits
of caution-money before permitting the establishment of any organ of
the press or of printing offices; these will then have to guarantee our
government against any kind of attack on the pan of the press. For
any attempt to attack us, if such still be possible, we shall inflict fines
without mercy. Such measures as stamp tax, deposit of caution-money
and fines secured by these deposits, will bring in a huge income to the
government. It is true that party organs might not spare money for the
sake of publicity, but these we shall shut up at the second attack upon
us. No one shall with impunity lay a finger on the aureole of our
government infallibility. The pretext for stopping any publication will
be the alleged plea that it is agitating the public mind without occasion
or justification. I beg you to note that among those making attacks upon
us will also be organs established by us, but they will attack exclusively
points that we have pre-determined to alter.
Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control.
Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all
news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are
focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be
already entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate
to them.
If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds
of the goy communities to such an extent that they all come near
looking upon the events of the world through the coloured glasses of
those spectacles we are setting astride their noses: if already now there
is not a single State where there exist for us any barriers to admittance
into what goy stupidity calls State secrets: what will our position be
then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in
the person of our king of all the world....
Let us turn again to the future of the printing press. Every one
desirous of being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be obliged to
provide himself with the diploma instituted therefor, which, in case
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 299
of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With such measures the
instrument of thought will become an educative means in the hands of
our government, which will no longer allow the mass of the nation to
be led astray in by-ways and fantasies about the blessings of progress. Is
there any one of us who does not know that these phantom blessings are
the direct roads to foolish imaginings which give birth to anarchical
relations of men among themselves and towards authority, because
progress, or rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception
of every kind of emancipation, but has failed to establish its limits. . . .
All the so-called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in
thought. Every one of them is hunting after phantoms of freedom,
and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the anarchy of pro-
test for the sake of protest. . . .
We turn to the periodical press. We shall impose on it, as on all
printed matter, stamp taxes per sheet and deposits of caution-money,
and books of less than 30 sheets will pay double. We shall reckon them
as pamphlets in order, on the one hand, to reduce the number of magazines,
which are the worst form of printed poison, and, on the other,
in order that this measure may force writers into such lengthy produc-
tions that they will be little read, especially as they will be costly. At the
same time what we shall publish ourselves to influence mental development
in the direction laid down for our profit will be cheap and will be
read voraciously. The tax will bring vapid literary ambitions within bounds
and the liability to penalties will make literary men dependent upon
us. And if there should be any found who are desirous of writing
against us, they will not find any person eager to print their produc-
tions. Before accepting any production for publication in print the
publisher or printer will have to apply to the authorities for permission
to do so. Thus we shall know beforehand of all tricks preparing against
us and shall nullify them by getting ahead with explanations on the
subject treated of.
Literature and journalism are two of the most important educative
forces, and therefore our government will become proprietor of the
majority of the journals. This will neutralise the injurious influence
of the privately owned press and will put us in possession of a tremendous
influence upon the public mind. ... If we give permits for
ten journals, we shall ourselves found thirty, and so on in the same
proportion. This, however, must in nowise be suspected by the public.
300 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
For which reason all journals published by us will be of the most
opposite, in appearance, tendencies and opinions, thereby creating confidence
in us and bringing over to us our quite unsuspicious opponents,
who will thus fall into our trap and be rendered harmless.
In the front rank will stand organs of an official character. They
will always stand guard over our interests, and therefore their influence
will be comparatively insignificant.
In the second rank will be the semi-official organs, whose part it
will be to attract the tepid and indifferent.
In the third rank we shall set up our own, to all appearance, opposition,
which, in at least one of its organs, will present what looks like
the very antipodes to us. Our real opponents at heart will accept this
simulated opposition as their own and will show us their cards.
All our newspapers will be of all possible complexionsaristocratic,
republican, revolutionary, even anarchicalfor so long, of
course, as the constitution exists. . . . Like the Indian idol Vishnu
they will have a hundred hands, and every one of them will have a
finger on any one of the public opinions as required. When a pulse
quickens these hands will lead opinion in the direction of our aims,
for an excited patient loses all power of judgment and easily yields
to suggestion. Those fools who will think they are repeating the
opinion of a newspaper of their own camp will be repeating our
opinion or any opinion that seems desirable for us. In the vain belief
that they are following the organ of their party they will in fact
follow the flag which we hang out for them.
In order to direct our newspaper militia in this sense we must take
especial and minute care in organising this matter. Under the title of
central department of the press we shall institute literary gatherings
at which our agents will without attracting attention issue the orders
and watchwords of the day. By discussing and controverting, but always
superficially, without touching the essence of the matter, our organs
will carry on a sham fight fusillade with the official newspapers solely
for the purpose of giving occasion for us to express ourselves more
fully than could well be done from the outset in official announce-
ments, whenever, of course, that is to our advantage.
These attacks upon us will also serve another purpose, namely, that
our subjects will be convinced of the existence of full freedom of
speech and so give our agents an occasion to affirm that all organs
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion . 301
which oppose us are empty babblers, since they are incapable of finding
any substantial objections to our orders.
Methods of organisation like these, imperceptible to the public eye
but absolutely sure, are the best calculated to succeed in bringing the
attention and the confidence of the public to the side of our government.
Thanks to such methods we shall be in a position as from
time to time may be required, to excite or to tranquillise the public
mind on political questions, to persuade or to confuse, printing now
truth, now lies, facts or their contradictions, according as they may
be well or ill received, always very cautiously feeling our ground
before stepping upon it. . . . We shall have a sure triumph over our
opponents since they will not have at their disposition organs of the
press in which they can give full and final expression to their views
owing to the aforesaid methods of dealing with the press. We shall
not even need to refute them except very superficially.
Trial shots like these, fired by us in the third rank of our press,
in case of need, will be energetically refuted by us in our semi-
official organs.
Even nowadays, already, to take only the French press, there are
forms which reveal masonic solidarity in acting on the watchword:
all organs of the press are bound together by professional secrecy;
like the augurs of old, not one of their numbers will give away the
secret of his sources of information unless it be resolved to make
announcement to them. Not one journalist will venture to betray
this secret, for not one of them is ever admitted to practise literature
unless his whole past has some disgraceful sore or other. . . . These
sores would be immediately revealed. So long as they remain the
secret of a few the prestige of the journalist attracts the majority of
the countrythe mob follows after him with enthusiasm.
Our calculations are especially extended to the provinces. It is in-
dispensable for us to inflame there those hopes and impulses with
which we could at any moment fall upon the capital, and we shall
represent to the capitals that these expressions are the independent
hopes and impulses of the provinces. Naturally, the source of them
will be always one and the sameours. What we need is that, until
such time as we are in the plenitude of fower, the capitals should
find themselves stifled by the provincial opinion of the nation, i.e., of
a majority arranged by our agentur. What we need is that at the psycho
302 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
logical moment the capitals should not be in a position to discuss an
accomplished fact for the simple reason, if for no other, that it has
been accepted by the public opinion of a majority in the provinces.
When we are in the period of the new regime transitional to that
of our assumption of full sovereignty we must not admit any revelations
by the press of any form of public dishonesty; it is necessary
that the new regime should be thought to have so perfectly contented
everybody that even criminality has disappeared. , . . Cases of the
manifestation of criminality should remain known only to their victims
and to chance witnessesno more.
PROTOCOL NO. 13
The need for daily bread forces the goyim to keep silence and be
our humble servants. Agents taken on to our press from among the
goyim will at our order discuss anything which it is inconvenient for
us to issue directly in official documents, and we meanwhile, quietly
amid the din of the discussion so raised, shall simply take and carry
through such measures as we wish and then offer them to the public
as an accomplished fact. No one will dare to demand the abrogation of
a matter once settled, all the more so as it will be represented as an
improvement. . . . And immediately the press will distract the current
of thought towards new questions (have we not trained people always
to be seeking something new?). Into the discussions of these new
questions will throw themselves those of the brainless dispensers of
fortunes who are not able even now to understand that they have
not the remotest conception about the matters which they undertake
to discuss. Questions of the political are unattainable for any save
those who have guided it already for many ages, the creators.
From all this you will see that in securing the opinion of the
mob we are only facilitating the working of our machinery, and
you may remark that it is not for actions but for words issued by us
on this or that question that we seem to seek approval. We are con-
stantly making public declaration that we are guided in all our under-
takings by the hope, joined to the conviction, that we are serving the
commonweal.
In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from
discussions of questions of the political we are now putting forward
Chapter l5 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 303
what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions
of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The
masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from what they
suppose to be political activity (which we trained them to in order
to use them as a means of combating the goy governments) only on
condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing
them something that looks like the same political object. In
order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about
we further distract them with amusements, games, pastimes, passions,
people's palaces. . . . Soon we shall begin through the press to propose
competitions in art, in sport of all kinds: these interests will finally
distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves
compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more disaccustomed to
reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to
talk in the same tone as we, because we alone shall be offering them
new directions for thought ... of course through such persons as
will not be suspected of solidarity with us.
The part played by the liberals, utopian dreamers, will be finally
played out when our government is acknowledged. Till such time
they will continue to do us good service. Therefore we shall continue
to direct their minds to all sorts of vain conceptions of fantastic
theories, new and apparently progressive: for have we not with complete
success turned the brainless heads of the goyim with progress,
till there is not among the goyim one mind able to perceive that
under this word lies a departure from truth in all cases where it is
not a question of material inventions, for truth is one, and in it there
is no place for progress. Progress, like a fallacious idea, serves to
obscure truth so that none may know it except us, the Chosen of
God, its guardians.
When we come into our kingdom our orators will expound great
problems which have turned humanity upside down in order to bring
it at the end under our beneficent rule.
Who will ever suspect then that ALL THESE PEOPLES WERE
STAGE-MANAGED BY US ACCORDING TO A POLITICAL
PLAN WHICH NO ONE HAS SO MUCH AS GUESSED AT
IN THE COURSE OF MANY CENTURIES? . . .
304 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
PROTOCOL NO. 14
When we come into our kingdom it will be undesirable for us that
there should exist any other religion than ours of the One God with
whom our destiny is bound up by our position as the Chosen People
and through whom our same destiny is united with the destinies of
the world. We must therefore sweep away all other forms of belief.
If this gives birth to the atheists whom we see to-day, it will not,
being only a transitional stage, interfere with our views, but will serve
as a warning for those generations which will hearken to our preaching
of the religion of Moses, that, by its stable and thoroughly elaborated
system, has brought all the peoples of the world into subjection to us.
Therein we shall emphasise its mystical right, on which, as we shall
say, all its educative power is based. . . . Then at every possible
opportunity we shall publish articles in which we shall make comparisons
between our beneficent rule and those of past ages. The bless-
ings of tranquillity, though it be a tranquillity forcibly brought about
by centuries of agitation, will throw into higher relief the benefits
to which we shall point. The errors of the goyim governments will be
depicted by us in the most vivid hues. We shall implant such an
abhorrence of them that the peoples will prefer tranquillity in a state
of serfdom to those rights of vaunted freedom which have tortured
humanity and exhausted the very sources of human existence, sources
which have been exploited by a mob of rascally adventurers who
know not what they do. . . . Useless changes of forms of government
to which toe instigated the GOYIM token toe were undermining their
state structures, will have so wearied the peoples by that time that
they will prefer to suffer anything under us rather than run the
risk of enduring again all the agitations and miseries they have gone
through.
At the same time we shall not omit to emphasise the historical
mistakes of the goy governments which have tormented humanity for
so many centuries by their lack of understanding of everything that
constitutes the true good of humanity in their chase after fantastic
schemes of social blessings, and have never noticed that these schemes
kept on producing a worse and never a better state of the universal
relations which are the basis of human life. ...
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 305
The whole force of our principles and methods will lie in the
fact that we shall present them and expound them as a splendid
contrast to the dead and decomposed old order of things in social life.
Our philosophers will discuss all the shortcomings of the various
beliefs of the goyim, BUT NO ONE WILL EVER BRING UNDER
DISCUSSION OUR FAITH FROM ITS TRUE POINT OF
VIEW SINCE THIS WILL BE FULLY LEARNED BY NONE
SAVE OURS, WHO WILL NEVER DARE TO BETRAY ITS
SECRETS.
In countries known as progressive and enlightened we have created
a senseless, filthy, abominable literature. For some time after our
entrance to power we shall continue to encourage its existence in order
to provide a telling relief by contrast to the speeches, party pro-
gramme, which will be distributed from exalted quarters of ours. . . .
Our wise men, trained to become leaders of the goyim, will compose
speeches, projects, memoirs, articles, which will be used by us to
influence the minds of the goyim, directing them towards such understanding
and forms of knowledge as have been determined by us.
PROTOCOL NO. 15
When we at last definitely come into our kingdom by the aid of
coup d'etat prepared everywhere for one and the same day, after
the worthlessness of all existing forms of government has been definitely
acknowledged (and not a little time will pass before that comes
about, perhaps even a whole century) we shall make it our task to
see that against us such things as plots shall no longer exist. With this
purpose we shall slay without mercy all who take arms (in hand) to
oppose our coming into our kingdom. Every kind of new institution
of anything like a secret society will also be punished with death;
those of them which are now in existence, are known to us, serve us
and have served us, we shall disband and send into exile to continents
far removed from Europe. In this toay toe shall proceed with those
goy masons who know too much; such of these as we may for some
reason spare will be kept in constant fear of exile. We shall promul-
gate a law making all former members of secret societies liable to exile
from Europe as the centre of our rule.
Resolutions of our government will be final, without appeal.
306 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
In the goy societies, in which we have planted and deeply rooted
discord and protestantism, the only possible way of restoring order is
to employ merciless measures that prove the direct force of authority:
no regard must be paid to the victims who fall, they suffer for the
well-being of the future. The attainment of that well-being, even at
the expense of sacrifices, is the duty of any kind of government that
acknowledges as justification for its existence not only its privileges
but its obligations. The principal guarantee of stability of rule is to
confirm the aureole of power, and this aureole is attained only by
such a majestic inflexibility of might as shall carry on its face the
emblems of inviolability from mystical causesfrom the choice of
God. Such was, until recent times, the Russian autocracy, the one and
only serious foe we had, in the world, without counting the Papacy.
Bear in mind the example when Italy, drenched with blood, never
touched a hair of the head of Sulla* who had poured forth that blood:
Sulla enjoyed an apotheosis for his might in the eyes of the people,
though they had been torn in pieces by him, but his intrepid return
to Italy ringed him round with inviolability. The people do not lay
a finger on him who hypnotises them by his daring and strength of
mind.
Meantime, however, until we come into our kingdom, we shall act
in the contrary way: we shall create and multiply free masonic lodges
in all the countries of the world, absorb into them all who may become
or who are prominent in public activity, for in these lodges
we shall find our principal intelligence office and means of influence.
All these lodges we shall bring under one central administration,
known to us alone and to all others absolutely unknown, which will
be composed of our learned elders. The lodges will have their representatives
who will serve to screen the above-mentioned administration
of masonry and from whom will issue the watchword and programme.
In these lodges we shall tie together the knot which binds together
all revolutionary and liberal elements. Their composition will be
made up of all strata of society. The most secret political plots will
be known to us and will fall under our guiding hands on the very day

most all the agents of international and national police since their
service is for us irreplaceable in the respect that the police is in a
position not only to use its own particular measures with the insubordinate,
but also to screen our activities and provide pretexts for
discontents, et cetera.
The class of people who most willingly enter into secret societies
are those who live by their wits, careerists, and in general people,
mostly light-minded, with whom we shall have no difficulty in dealing
and in using to wind up the mechanism of the machine devised by
us. If this world grows agitated the meaning of that will be that we
have had to stir it up in order to break up its too great solidarity.
But if there should, arise in its midst a plot, then at the head of that
plot will be no other than one of our most trusted servants. It is
natural that we and no other should lead masonic activities, for we
know whither we are leading, we know the final goal of every form
of activity whereas the goyim have knowledge of nothing, not even
of the immediate effect of action; they put before themselves, usually,
the momentary reckoning of the satisfaction of their self-opinion
in the accomplishment of their thought without even remarking that
the very conception never belonged to their initiative but to our insti-
gation of their thought....
The goyim enter the lodges out of curiosity or in the hope by
their means to get a nibble at the public pie, and some of them in
order to obtain a hearing before the public for their impracticable
and groundless fantasies: they thirst for the emotion of success and
applause, of which we are remarkably generous. And the reason why
we give them this success is to make use of the high conceit of them-
selves to which it gives birth, for that insensibly disposes them to
assimilate our suggestions without being on their guard against them
in the fullness of their confidence that it is their own infallibility
which is giving utterance to their own thoughts and that it is im
possible for them to borrow those of others. . . . You cannot imagine
to what extent the wisest of the goyim can be brought to a state of
unconscious naivete in the presence of this condition of high conceit
of themselves, and at the same time how easy it is to take the heart
out of them by the slightest ill-success, though it be nothing more
than the stoppage of the applause they had, and to reduce them to a
slavish submission for the sake of winning a renewal of success. . . .
308 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
By so much as ours disregard success if only they can carry through
their plans, by so much the goyim are willing to sacrifice any plans
only to have success. This psychology of theirs materially facilitates
for us the task of setting them in the required direction. These tigers
in appearance have the souls of sheep and the wind blows freely
through their heads. We have set them on the hobby-horse of an
idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of
collectivism. . . . They have never yet and they never will have the
sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the
most important law of nature, which has established from the very
creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the
purpose of instituting individuality. . . .
If we have been able to bring them to such a pitch of stupid
blindness is it not a proof, and an amazingly clear proof, of the
degree to which the mind of the goyim is undeveloped in comparison
with our mind? This it is, mainly, which guarantees our success.
And how far-seeing were our learned elders in ancient times when
they said that to attain a serious end it behoves not to stop at any
means or to count the victims sacrificed for the sake of that end. . . .
We have not counted the victims of the seed of the goy cattle, though
we have sacrificed many of our own, but for that we have now already
given them such a position on the earth as they could not even have
dreamed of. The comparatively small numbers of the victims from the
number of ours have preserved our nationality from destruction.
Death is the inevitable end for all. It is better to bring that end
nearer to those who hinder our affairs than to ourselves, to the
founders of this affair. We execute masons in such wise that none save
the brotherhood can ever have a susficion of it, not even the victims
themselves of our death sentence, they all die when required as if
from a normal kind of illness. . . . Knowing this, even the brotherhood
in its turn dare not protest. By such methods we have plucked out
of the midst of masonry the very root of protest against our disposi-
tion. While preaching liberalism to the goyim we at the same time
keep our own people and our agents in a state of unquestioning
submission.
Under our influence the execution of the laws of the goyim has
been reduced to a minimum. The prestige of the law has been ex-
ploded by the liberal interpretations introduced into this sphere. In
Chapter l5 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 309
the most important and fundamental affairs and questions judges
decide as we dictate to them, see matters in the light wherewith we
enfold them for the administration of the goyim, of course, through
persons who are our tools though we do not appear to have anything
in common with themby newspaper opinion or by other means. . . .
Even senators and the higher administration accept our counsels. The
purely brute mind of the goyim is incapable of use for analysis and
observation, and still more for the foreseeing whither a certain manner
of setting a question may tend.
In this difference in capacity for thought between the goyim and
ourselves may be clearly discerned the seal of our position on the
Chosen People and of our higher quality of humanness, in contradistinction
to the brute mind of the goyim. Their eyes are open, but
see nothing before them and do not invent (unless, perhaps, material
things). From this it is plain that nature herself has destined us to
guide and rule the world.
When comes the time of our overt rule, the time to manifest its
blessings, we shall remake all legislatures, all our laws will be brief,
plain, stable, without any kind of interpretations, so that anyone will
be in a position to know them perfectly. The main feature which
will run right through them is submission to orders, and this principle
will be carried to a grandiose height. Every abuse will then disappear
in consequence of the responsibility of all down to the lowest unit
before the higher authority of the representative of power. Abuses of
power subordinate to this last instance will be so mercilessly punished
that none will be found anxious to try experiments with their own
powers. We shall follow up jealously every action of the administration
on which depends the smooth running of the machinery of
the State, for slackness in this produces slackness everywhere; not a
single case of illegality or abuse of power will be left without ex-
emplary punishment.
Concealment of guilt, connivance between those in the service of
the administrationall this kind of evil will disappear after the very
first examples of severe punishment. The aureole of our power demands
suitable, that is, cruel, punishments for the slightest infringe-
ment, for the sake of gain, of its supreme prestige. The sufferer,
though his punishment may exceed his fault, will count as a soldier
falling on the administrative field of battle in the interest of au
310 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
thority, principle and law, which do not permit that any of those
who hold the reins of the public coach should turn aside from the
public highway to their own private paths. For example: our judges
will know that whenever they feel disposed to fpume themselves on
foolish clemency they are violating the law of justice which is instituted
for the exemplary edification of men by penalties for lapses and
not for display of the spiritual qualities of the judge. . . . Such qual-
ities it is proper to show in private life, but not in a public square
which is the educationary basis of human life.
Our legal staff will serve not beyond the age of 55, firstly because
old men more obstinately hold to prejudiced opinions, and are less
capable of submitting to new directions, and second because this will
give us the possibility by this measure of securing elasticity in the
changing of staff, which will thus the more easily bend under our
pressure: he who wishes to keep his place will have to give blind
obedience to deserve it. In general, our judges will be elected by us
only from among those who thoroughly understand that the part they
have to play is to punish and apply laws and not to dream about the
manifestations of liberalism at the expense of the educationary scheme
of the State, as the goyim in these days imagine it to be. . . . This
method of shuffling the staff will serve also to explode any collective
solidarity of those in the same service and will bind all to the interests
of the government upon which their fate will depend. The young
generation of judges will be trained in certain views regarding the
inadmissibility of any abuses that might disturb the established order
of our subjects among themselves.
In these days the judges of the goyim create indulgences to every
kind of crime, not having a just understanding of their office, because
the rulers of the present age in appointing judges to office take no
care to inculcate in them a sense of duty and consciousness of the
matter which is demanded of them. As a brute beast lets out its young
in search of prey, so do the goyim give their subjects places of profit
without thinking to make clear to them for what purpose such place
was created. This is the reason why their governments are being ruined
by their own forces through the acts of their own administration.
Let us borrow from the example of the results of these actions yet
another lesson for our government.
We shall root out liberalism from all the important strategic posts
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 311
of our government on which depends the training of subordinates
for onr State structure. Such posts will fall exclusively to those who
have been trained by us for administrative rule. To the possible
objection that the retirement of old servants will cost the Treasury
heavily, I reply, firstly, they will be provided with some private
service in place of what they lose, and, secondly, I have to remark
that all the money in the world will be concentrated in our hands,
consequently it is not our government that has to fear expense.
Our absolutism will in all things be logically consecutive and
therefore in each one of its decrees our supreme will will be respected
and unquestionably fulfilled: it will ignore all murmurs, all discon-
tents of every kind and will destroy to the root every kind of manifestation
of them in act by punishment of an exemplary character.
We shall abolish the right of cassation, which will be transferred
exclusively to our disposalto the cognisance of him who rules, for
we must not allow the conception among the people of a thought
that there could be such a thing as a decision that is not right of judges
set up by us. If, however, anything like this should occur, we shall
ourselves cassate the decision, but inflict therewith such exemplary
punishment on the judge for lack of understanding of his duty and
the purpose of his appointment as will prevent a repetition of such
cases. ... I repeat that it must be borne in mind that we shall know
every step of our administration which only needs to be closely watched
for the people to be content with us, for it has the right to demand
from a good government a good official.
Our government will have the appearance of a patriarchal paternal
guardianship on the part of our ruler. Our own nation and our subjects
will discern in his person a father caring for their every need,
their every act, their every inter-relation as subjects one with another,
as well as their relations to the ruler. They will then be so thoroughly
imbued with the thought that it is impossible for them to dispense
with this wardship and guidance, if they wish to live in peace and
quiet, that they will acknowledge the autocracy of our ruler with a
devotion bordering on APOTHEOSIS, especially when they are con-
vinced that those whom we set up do not put their own in place of
his authority, but only blindly execute his dictates. They will be
rejoiced that we have regulated everything in their lives as is done
by wise parents who desire to train their children in the cause of
312 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
duty and submission. For the peoples of the world in regard to the
secrets of our polity are ever through the ages only children under
age, precisely as are also their governments.
As you see, I found our despotism on right and duty: the right to
compel the execution of duty is the direct obligation of a government
which is a father for its subjects. It has the right of the strong that
it may use it for the benefit of directing humanity towards that order
which is defined by nature, namely, submission. Everything in the
world is in a state of submission, if not to man, then to circumstances
or its own inner character, in all cases, to what is stronger. And so
shall we be this something stronger for the sake of good.
We are obliged without hesitation to sacrifice individuals, who
commit a breach of established order, for in the exemplary punishment
of evil lies a great educational problem.
When the King of Israel sets upon his sacred head the crown
offered him by Europe he will become patriarch of the world. The
indispensable victims offered by him in consequence of their suitability
will never reach the number of victims offered in the course
of centuries by the mania of magnificence, the emulation between the
goy governments.
Our King will be in constant communion with the peoples, making
to them from the tribune speeches which fame will in that same hour
distribute over all the world.
PROTOCOL NO. 16
In order to effect the destruction of all collective forces except
ours we shall emasculate the first stage of collectivismthe universities,
by re-educating them in a new direction. Their officials and professors
will be prepared for their business by detailed secret programmes of
action from which they will not with immunity diverge, not by one
iota. They will be appointed with esfecial precaution, and will be so
placed as to be wholly dependent upon the Government.
We shall exclude from the course of instruction State Law as also
all that concerns the political question. These subjects will be taught
to a few dozens of persons chosen for their pre-eminent capacities
from among the number of the initiated. The universities must no
longer send out from their halls milksops concocting plans for a con
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 313
stitution, like a comedy or a tragedy, busying themselves with questions
of policy in which even their own fathers never had any power
of thought.
The ill-guided acquaintance of a large number of persons with
questions of polity creates Utopian dreamers and bad subjects, as you
can see for yourselves from the example of the universal education in
this direction of the goyim. We must introduce into their education
all those principles which have so brilliantly broken up their order.
But when we are in power we shall remove every kind of disturbing
subject from the course of education and shall make out of the youth
obedient children of authority, loving him who rules as the support
and hope of peace and quiet.
Classicism, as also any form of study of ancient history, in which
there are more bad than good examples, we shall replace with the
study of the programme of the future. We shall erase from the
memory of men all facts of previous centuries which are undesirable
to us, and leave only those which depict all the errors of the govern-
ment of the goyim. The study of practical life, of the obligations of
order, of the relations of people one to another, of avoiding bad and
selfish examples, which spread the infection of evil, and similar questions
of an educative nature, will stand in the forefront of the teaching
programme, which will be drawn up on a separate plan for each calling
or state of life, in no wise generalising the teaching. This treatment
of the question has special importance.
Each state of life must be trained within strict limits corresponding
to its destination and work in life. The occasional genius has always
managed and always will manage to slip through into other states of
life, but it is the most perfect folly for the sake of this rare occasional
genius to let through into ranks foreign to them the untalented
who thus rob of their places those who belong to those ranks by birth
or employment. You know yourselves in what all this has ended for
the GOYIM who allowed this crying absurdity.
In order that he who rules may be seated firmly in the hearts
and minds of his subjects it is necessary for the time of his activity
to instruct the whole nation in the schools and on the market places
about his meaning and his acts and all his beneficent initiatives.
We shall abolish every kind of freedom of instruction. Learners
of all ages will have the right to assemble together with their parents
314 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
in the educational establishments as it were in a club: daring these
assemblies, on holidays, teachers will read what will pass as free
lectures on questions of human relations, of the laws of examples, of
the limitations which are born of unconscious relations, and, finally,
of the philosophy of new theories not yet declared to the world.
These theories will be raised by us to the stage of a dogma of faith
as a transitional stage towards our faith. On the completion of this
exposition of our programme of action in the present and the future
I will read you the principles of these theories.
In a word, knowing by the experience of many centuries that people
live and are guided by ideas, that these ideas are imbibed by people
only by the aid of education provided with equal success for all ages
of growth, but of course by varying methods, we shall swallow up
and confiscate to our own use the last scintilla of independence of
thought, which we have for long past been directing towards subjects
and ideas useful for us. The system of bridling thought is already
at work in the so-called system of teaching by object lessons, the purpose
of which is to turn the goyim into unthinking submissive brutes
waiting for things to be presented before their eyes in order to form
an idea of them. ... In France, one of our best agents, Bourgeois,
has already made public a new programme of teaching by object
lessons.
PROTOCOL NO. 17
The practice of advocacy produces men cold, cruel, persistent, un-
principled, who in all cases take up an impersonal, purely legal standpoint.
They have the inveterate habit to refer everything to its value
for the defence and not to the public welfare of its results. They
do not usually decline to undertake any defence whatever, they strive
for an acquittal at all costs, cavilling over every petty crux of jurisprudence
and thereby they demoralise justice. For this reason we
shall set this profession into narrow frames which will keep it inside
this sphere of executive public service. Advocates, equally with judges,
will be deprived of the right of communication with litigants; they
will receive business only from the court and will study it by notes
of report and documents, defending their clients after they have
been interrogated in court on facts that have appeared. They will
receive an honorarium without regard to the quality of the defence.
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 315
This will render them mere reporters on law-business in the interests
of justice and as counterpoise to the proctor who will be the reporter in
the interests of prosecution; this will shorten business before the
courts. In this way will be established a practice of honest unprejudiced
defence conducted not from personal interest but by conviction. This
will also, by the way, remove the present practice of corrupt bargain
between advocates to agree only to let that side win which pays
most. . . .
We have long past taken care to discredit the priesthood of the
goyim, and thereby to ruin their mission on earth which in these days
might still be a great hindrance to us. Day by day its influence on the
peoples of the world is falling lower. Freedom of conscience has been
declared everywhere, so that now only years divide us from the mo-
ment of the complete wrecking of that Christian religion: as to
other religions we shall have still less difficulty in dealing with them,
but it would be premature to speak of this now. We shall set clerical-
ism and clericals into such narrow frames as to make their influence
move in retrogressive proportion to its former progress.
When the time comes finally to destroy the papal court the finger
of an invisible hand will point the nations towards this court. When,
however, the nations fling themselves upon it, we shall come forward
in the guise of its defenders as if to save excessive bloodshed. By
this diversion we shall penetrate to its very bowels and be sure we
shall never come out again until we have gnawed through the entire
strength of this place.
The King of the Jews will be the real Pope of the Universe, the
patriarch of an international Church.
But, in the meantime, while we are re-educating youth in new
traditional religions and afterwards in ours, we shall not overtly lay
a finger on existing churches, but we shall fight against them by crit
icism calculated to produce schism. . . .
In general, then, our contemporary press will continue to convict
State affairs, religions, incapacities of the goyim, always using the
most unprincipled expressions in order by every means to lower their
prestige in the manner which can only be practised by the genius of
our gifted tribe. . . .
Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity Vishnu, in whom
316 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
is found its personificationin our hundred hands will be, one in
each, the springs of the machinery of social life. We shall see every-
thing without the aid of official police which, in that scope of its
rights which we elaborated for the use of the goyim, hinders govern-
ments from seeing. In our programme one-third of our subjects will
keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty, on the principle
of volunteer service to the State. It will then be no disgrace to be a
spy and informer, but a merit: unfounded denunciations, however,
will be cruelly punished that there may be no development of abuses
of this right.
Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as the lower
ranks of society, from among the administrative class who spend their
time in amusements, editors, printers and publishers, booksellers, clerks,
and salesmen, workmen, coachmen, lackeys, etcetera. This body, having
no rights and not being empowered to take any action on their own
account, and consequently a police without any power, will only witness
and report: verification of their reports and arrests will depend upon
a responsible group of controllers of police affairs, while the actual
act of arrest will be performed by the gendarmerie and the municipal
police. Any person not denouncing anything seen or heard concerning
questions of polity will also be charged with and made responsible
for concealment, if it be proved that he is guilty of this crime.
Just as nowadays our brethren are obliged at their own risk to
denounce to the kabal apostates of their own family or members who
have been noticed doing anything in opposition to the kabal, so in
our kingdom over all the world it will be obligatory for all our subjects
to observe the duty of service to the State in this direction.
Such an organisation will extirpate abuses of authority, of force,
of bribery, everything in fact which we by our counsels, by our the-
ories of the superhuman rights of man, have introduced into the
customs of the goyim. . . . But how else were we to procure that
increase of causes predisposing to disorders in the midst of their
administration? . . . Among the number of those methods one of the
most important isagents for the restoration of order, so placed as to
have the opportunity in their disintegrating activity of developing and
displaying their evil inclinationsobstinate self-conceit, irresponsible
exercise of authority, and, first and foremost, venality.
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 317
PROTOCOL NO. 18
When it becomes necessary for us to strengthen the strict measures
of secret defence (the most fatal poison for the prestige of authority)
we shall arrange a simulation of disorders or some manifestation of
discontents finding expression through the co-operation of good
speakers. Round these speakers will assemble all who are sympathetic
to his utterances. This will give us the pretext for domiciliary perquisitions
and surveillance on the part of our servants from among
the number of the goyim police. . . .
As the majority of conspirators act out of love for the game, for
the sake of talking, so, until they commit some overt act we shall
not lay a finger on them but only introduce into their midst obser-
vation elements. ... It must be remembered that the prestige of au-
thority is lessened if it frequently discovers conspiracies against itself:
this implies a presumption of consciousness of weakness, or, what is still
worse, of injustice. You are aware that we have broken the prestige
of the goy kings by frequent attempts upon their lives through our
agents, blind sheep of our flock, who are easily moved by a few
liberal phrases to crimes provided only they be painted in political
colours. We have compelled the rulers to acknowledge their weakness
in advertising overt measures of secret defence and thereby we shall
bring the promise of authority to destruction.
Our ruler will be secretly protected only by the most insignificant
guard, because we shall not admit so much as a thought that there
could exist against him any sedition with which he is not strong
enough to contend and is compelled to hide from it.
If we should admit this thought, as the goyim have done and are
doing, we should ipso facto be signing a death sentence, if not for our
ruler, at any rate for his dynasty, at no distant date.
According to strictly enforced outward appearances our ruler will
employ his power only for the advantage of the nation and in no
wise for his own or dynastic profits. Therefore, with the observance of
this decorum, his authority will be respected and guarded by the
subjects themselves, it will receive an apotheosis in the admission that
with it is bound up the well-being of every citizen of the State, for
upon it will depend all order in the common life of the pack. . . .
318 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Overt defence of the king argues weakness in the organisation of his
strength.
Our ruler will always among the people be surrounded by a mob
of apparently curious men and women, who will occupy the front
ranks about him, to all appearance by chance, and will restrain the
ranks of the rest out of respect as it will appear for good order. This
will sow an example of restraint also in others. If a petitioner appears
among the people trying to hand a petition and forcing his way
through the ranks, the first ranks must receive the petition and before
the eyes of the petitioner pass it to the ruler, so that all may know
that what is handed in reaches its destination, that, consequently,
there exists a control of the ruler himself. The aureole of power
requires for its existence that the people may be able to say: "If the
king knew of this," or: "the king will hear of it."
With the establishment of official secret defence the mystical prestige
of authority disappears: given a certain audacity, and everyone counts
himself master of it, the sedition-monger is conscious of his strength,
and when occasion serves watches for the moment to make an at-
tempt upon authority. . . . For the goyim we have been preaching
something else, but by that very fact we are enabled to see what
measures of overt defence have brought them to. . . .
Criminals with us will be arrested at the first more or less well-
grounded suspicion; it cannot be allowed that out of fear of a pos
sible mistake an opportunity should be given of escape to persons
suspected of a political lapse or crime, for in these matters we shall be
literally merciless. If it is still possible, by stretching a point, to admit
a reconsideration of the motive causes in simple crimes, there is no
possibility of excuse for persons occupying themselves with questions
in which nobody except the government can understand anything. . . .
And it is not all governments that understand true policy.
PROTOCOL NO. 19
If we do not permit any independent dabbling in the political we
shall on the other hand encourage every kind of report or petition
with proposals for the government to examine into all kinds of
projects for the amelioration of the condition of the people; this will
reveal to us the defects or else the fantasies of our subjects, to which
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 319
we shall respond either by accomplishing them or by a wise rebutment
to prove the short-sightedness of one who judges wrongly.
Sedition-mongering is nothing more than the yapping of a lapdog
at an elephant. For a government well organised, not from the
police but from the public point of view, the lap-dog yaps at the
elephant in entire unconsciousness of its strength and importance. It
needs no more than to take a good example to show the relative
importance of both and the lap-dogs will cease to yap and will wag
their tails the moment they set eyes on an elephant.
In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political crime we
shall send it for trial in the category of thieving, murder, and every
kind of abominable and filthy crime. Public opinion will then confuse
in its conception this category of crime with the disgrace attaching to
every other and will brand it with the same contempt.
We have done our best, and I hope we have succeeded, to obtain
that the goyim should not arrive at this means of contending with
sedition. It was for this reason that through the press and in speeches,
indirectlyin cleverly compiled schoolbooks on history, we have
advertised the martyrdom alleged to have been accepted by sedition-
mongers for the idea of the commonweal. This advertisement has in-
creased the contingent of liberals and has brought thousands of goyim
into the ranks of our livestock cattle.
PROTOCOL NO. 20
To-day we shall touch upon the financial programme, which I put
off to the end of my report as being the most difficult, the crowning
and the decisive point of our plans. Before entering upon it I will
remind you that I have already spoken before by way of a hint when
I said that the sum total of our actions is settled by the question of
figures.
When we come into our kingdom our autocratic government will
avoid, from a principle of self-preservation, sensibly burdening the
masses of the people with taxes, remembering that it plays the part of
father and protector. But as State organisation costs dear it is neces
sary nevertheless to obtain the funds required for it. It will, therefore,
elaborate with particular precaution the question of equilibrium in
this matter.
320 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Our rule, in which the king will enjoy the legal fiction that everything
in his State belongs to him (which may easily be translated
into fact), will be enabled to resort to the lawful confiscation of all
sums of every kind for the regulation of their circulation in the State.
From this follows that taxation will best be covered by a progressive tax
on property. In this manner the dues will be paid without straitening
or ruining anybody in the form of a percentage of the amount of
property. The rich must be aware that it is their duty to place a part
of their superfluities at the disposal of the State since the State guar-
antees them security of possession of the rest of their property and the
right of honest gains, I say honest, for the control over property will
do away with robbery on a legal basis.
This social reform must come from above, for the time is ripe for
itit is indispensable as a pledge of peace.
The tax upon the poor man is a seed of revolution and works to
the detriment of the State which in hunting after the trifling is missing
the big. Quite apart from this, a tax on capitalists diminishes the growth
of wealth in private hands in which we have in these days concentrated
it as a counterpoise to the government strength of the goyim
their State finances.
A tax increasing in a percentage ratio to capital will give a much
larger revenue than the present individual or property tax, which is
useful to us now for the sole reason that it excites trouble and discontent
among the goyim.
The force upon which our king will rest consists in the equilibrium
and the guarantee of peace, for the sake of which things it is indis-
pensable that the capitalists should yield up a portion of their incomes
for the sake of the secure working of the machinery of the State.
State needs must be paid by those who will not feel the burden and
have enough to take from.
Such a measure will destroy the hatred of the poor man for the
rich, in whom he will see a necessary financial support for the State,
will see in him the organiser of peace and well-being since he will
see that it is the rich man who is paying the necessary means to attain
these things.
In order that payers of the educated classes should not too much
distress themselves over the new payments they will have full accounts
given them of the destination of those payments, with the exception
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 321
of such sums as will be appropriated for the needs of the throne and
the administrative institutions.
He who reigns will not have any properties of his own once all
in the State represents his patrimony, or else the one would be in
contradiction to the other; the fact of holding private means would
destroy the right of property in the common possessions of all.
Relatives of him who reigns, his heirs excepted, who will be maintained
by the resources of the State, must enter the ranks of servants of
the State or must work to obtain the right of property; the privilege of
royal blood must not serve for the spoiling of the treasury.
Purchase, receipt of money or inheritance will be subject to the
payment of a stamp progressive tax. Any transfer of property, whether
money or other, without evidence of payment of this tax which will
be strictly registered by names, will render the former holder liable
to pay interest on the tax from the moment of transfer of these sums
up to the discovery of his evasion of declaration of the transfer.
Transfer documents must be presented weekly at the local treasury
office with notifications of the name, surname and permanent place of
residence of the former and the new holder of the property. This
transfer with register of names must begin from a definite sum which
exceeds the ordinary expenses of buying and selling of necessaries,
and these will be subject to payment only by a stamp impost of a
definite percentage of the unit.
Just strike an estimate of how many times such taxes as these will
cover the revenue of the goyim States.
The State exchequer will have to maintain a definite complement
of reserve sums, and all that is collected above that complement must
be returned into circulation. On these sums will be organised public
works. The initiative in works of this kind, proceeding from State
sources, will bind the working class firmly to the interests of the State
and to those who reign. From these same sums also a part will be set
aside as rewards of inventiveness and productiveness.
On no account should so much as a single unit above the definite
and freely estimated sums be retained in the State treasuries, for
money exists to be circulated and any kind of stagnation of money
acts ruinously on the running of the State machinery, for which it is
the lubricant; a stagnation of the lubricant may stop the regular
working of the mechanism.
322 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
The substitution of interest-bearing paper for a part of the token
of exchange has produced exactly this stagnation. The consequences
of this circumstance are already sufficiently noticeable.
A court of account will also be instituted by us and in it the ruler
will find at any moment a full accounting for State income and ex-
penditure, with the exception of the current monthly account, not
yet made up, and that of the preceding month, which will not yet
have been delivered.
The one and only person who will have no interest in robbing the
State is its owner, the ruler. This is why his personal control will
remove the possibility of leakages of extravagances.
The representative function of the ruler at receptions for the sake
of etiquette, which absorbs so much invaluable time, will be abolished
in order that the ruler may have time for control and consideration.
His power will not then be split up into fractional parts among time-
serving favourites who surround the throne for its pomp and splendour,
and are interested only in their own and not in the common interests
of the State.
Economic crises have been produced by us for the goyim by no
other means than the withdrawal of money from circulation. Huge
capitals have stagnated, withdrawing money from States, which were
constantly obliged to apply to those same stagnant capitals for loans.
These loans burdened the finances of the State with the payment of
interest and made them the bond slaves of these capitals. . . . The
concentration of industry in the hands of capitalists out of the hands of
small masters has drained away all the juices of the peoples and with
them also of the States. . . .
The present issue of money in general does not correspond with
the requirements per head, and cannot therefore satisfy all the needs
of the workers. The issue of money ought to correspond with the
growth of population and thereby children also must absolutely be
reckoned as consumers of currency from the day of their birth. The
revision of issue is a material question for the whole world.
You are aware that the gold standard has been the ruin of the
States which adopted it, for it has not been able to satisfy the demands
for money, the more so that we have removed gold from circulation as
far as possible.
With us the standard that must be introduced is the cost of working
Chapter l5 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 323
man power, whether it be reckoned in paper or in wood. We shall
make the issue of money in accordance with the normal requirements
of each subject, adding to the quantity with every birth and sub-
tracting with every death.
The accounts will be managed by each department (the French
administrative division), each circle.
In order that there may be no delays in the paying out of money
for State needs the sums and terms of such payments will be fixed
by decree of the ruler; this will do away with the protection by a
ministry of one institution to the detriment of others.
The budgets of income and expenditure will be carried out side
by side that they may not be obscured by distance one to another.
The reforms projected by us in the financial institutions and prin-
ciples of the goyim will be closed by us in such forms as will alarm
nobody. We shall point out the necessity of reforms in consequence
of the disorderly darkness into which the goyim by their irregularities
have plunged the finances. The first irregularity, as we shall point
out, consists in their beginning with drawing up a single budget which
year after year grows owing to the following cause: this budget is
dragged out to half the year, then they demand a budget to put things
right, and this they expend in three months, after which they ask for
a supplementary budget, and all this ends with a liquidation budget.
But, as the budget of the following year is drawn up in accordance with
the sum of the total addition, the annual departure from the normal
reaches as much as 50 per cent, in a year, and so the annual budget
is trebled in ten years. Thanks to such methods, allowed by the carelessness
of the goy States, their treasuries are empty. The period of
loans supervenes, and that has swallowed up remainders and brought
all the goy States to bankruptcy.
You understand perfectly that economic arrangements of this kind,
which have been suggested to the goyim by us, cannot be carried on
by us.
Every kind of loan proves infirmity in the State and a want of
understanding of the rights of the State. Loans hang like a sword
of Damocles over the heads of rulers, who, instead of taking from
their subjects by a temporary tax, come begging with outstretched
palm of our bankers. Foreign loans are leeches which there is no
possibility of removing from the body of the State until they fall
324 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
off of themselves or the State flings them off. But the goy States do not
tear them off; they go on in persisting in putting more on to them-
selves so that they must inevitably perish, drained by voluntary blood-
letting.
What also indeed is, in substance, a loan, especially a foreign loan?
A loan isan issue of government bills of exchange containing a
percentage obligation commensurate to the sum of the loan capital.
If the loan bears a charge of 5 per cent., then in twenty years the
State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed,
in forty years it is paying a double sum, in sixtytreble, and all the
while the debt remains an unpaid debt.
From this calculation it is obvious that with any form of taxation
per head the State is baling out the last coppers of the poor taxpayers
in order to settle accounts with wealthy foreigners, from whom it has
borrowed money instead of collecting these coppers for its own needs
without the additional interest.
So long as loans were internal the goyim only shuffled their money
from the pockets of the poor to those of the rich, but when we bought
up the necessary person in order to transfer loans into the external
sphere all the wealth of States flowed into our cash-boxes and all the
goyim began to pay us the tribute of subjects.
If the superficiality of goy kings on their thrones in regard to
State affairs and the venality of ministers or the want of under-
standing of financial matters on the part of other ruling persons have
made their countries debtors to our treasuries to amounts quite impossible
to pay it has not been accomplished without on our part heavy
expenditure of trouble and money.
Stagnation of money will not be allowed by us and therefore
there will be no State interest-bearing paper, except a one per cent.
series, so that there will be no payment of interest to leeches that suck
all the strength out of the State. The right to issue interest-bearing
paper will be given exclusively to industrial companies who will find
no difficulty in paying interest out of profits, whereas the State does
not make interest on borrowed money like these companies, for the
State borrows to spend and not to use in operations.
Industrial papers will be bought also by the government which
from being as now a payer of tribute by loan operations will be trans-
formed into a lender of money at a profit. This measure will stop the
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 325
stagnation of money, parasitic profits and idleness, all of which were
useful for us among the goyim so long as they were independent but
are not desirable under our rule.
How clear is the undeveloped power of thought of the 'purely
brute brains of the goyim, as expressed in the fact that they have been
borrowing from us with payment of interest without ever thinking that
all the same these very moneys plus an addition for payment of
interest must be got by them from their own State pockets in order
to settle up with us. What could have been simpler than to take the
money they wanted from their own people?
But it is a proof of the genius of our chosen mind that we have
contrived to present the matter of loans to them in such a light that
they have even seen in them an advantage for themselves.
Our accounts, which we shall present when the time comes, in the
light of centuries of experience gained by experiments made by us
on the goy States, will be distinguished by clearness and definiteness
and will show at a glance to all men the advantage of our innovations.
They will put an end to those abuses to which we owe our mastery
over the goyim, but which cannot be allowed in our kingdom.
We shall so hedge about our system of accounting that neither the
ruler nor the most insignificant public servant will be in a position
to divert even the smallest sum from its destination without detection
or to direct it in another direction except that which will be once
fixed in a definite plan of action.
And without a definite plan it is impossible to rule. Marching along
an undetermined road and with undetermined resources brings to ruin
by the way heroes and demi-gods.
The goy rulers, whom we once upon a time advised should be distracted
from State occupations by representative receptions, observances
of etiquette, entertainments, were only screens for our rule. The ac-
counts of favourite courtiers who replaced them in the sphere of affairs
were drawn up for them by our agents, and every time gave satisfaction
to short-sighted minds by promises that in the future economies
and improvements were foreseen. . . . Economies from what?
From new taxes?were questions that might have been but were not
asked by those who read our accounts and projects. . . .
You know to what they have been brought by this carelessness, to
326 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
what a pitch of financial disorder they have arrived, notwithstanding
the astonishing industry of their peoples. . . .
PROTOCOL NO. 21
To what I reported to you at the last meeting I shall now add a
detailed explanation of internal loans. Of foreign loans I shall say
nothing more, because they have fed us with the national moneys of
the goyim, but for our State there will be no foreigners, that is,
nothing external.
We have taken advantage of the venality of administrators and
the slackness of rulers to get our moneys twice, thrice and more times
over, by lending to the goy governments moneys which were not at
all needed by the States. Could anyone do the like in regard to
us? . . . Therefore, I shall only deal with the details of internal
loans.
States announce that such a loan is to be concluded and open
subscriptions for their own bills of exchange, that is, for their interest-
bearing paper. That they may be within the reach of all the price is
determined at from a hundred to a thousand; and a discount is made
for the earliest subscribers. Next day by artificial means the price
of them goes up, the alleged reason being that everyone is rushing
to buy them. In a few days the treasury safes are as they say over-
flowing and there's more money than they can do with (why then
take it?). The subscription, it is alleged, covers many times over the
issue total of the loan; in this lies the whole stage effectlook you,
they say, what confidence is shown in the government's bills of
exchange.
But when the comedy is played out there emerges the fact that a
debit and an exceedingly burdensome debit has been created. For the
payment of interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans,
which do not swallow up but only add to the capital debt. And when
this credit is exhausted it becomes necessary by new taxes to cover, not
the loan, but only the interest on it. These taxes are a debit employed
to cover a debit. . . .
Later comes the time for conversions, but they diminish the payment
of interest without covering the debt, and besides they cannot be made
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 327
without the consent of the lenders; on announcing a conversion a proposal
is made to return the money to those who are not willing to
convert their paper. If everybody expressed his unwillingness and de-
manded his money back, the government would be hooked on their
own flies and would be found insolvent and unable to pay the
proposed sums. By good luck the subjects of the goy governments,
knowing nothing about financial affairs, have always preferred losses
on exchange and diminution of interest to the risk of new investments
of their moneys, and have thereby many a time enabled these govern-
ments to throw off their shoulders a debit of several millions.
Nowadays, with external loans, these tricks cannot be played by the
goyim for they know that we shall demand all our moneys back.
In this way an acknowledged bankruptcy will best prove to the
various countries the absence of any means between the interests of the
peoples and of those who rule them.
I beg you to concentrate your particular attention upon this point
and upon the following: nowadays all internal loans are consolidated
by so-called flying loans, that is, such as have terms of payment more
or less near. These debts consist of moneys paid into the savings banks
and reserve funds. If left for long at the disposition of a government
these funds evaporate in the payment of interest on foreign loans, and
are replaced by the deposit of equivalent amount of rentes.
And these last it is which patch up all the leaks in the State treas-
uries of the goyim.
When we ascend the throne of the world all these financial and
similar shifts, as being not in accord with our interests, will be swept
away so as not to leave a trace, as also will be destroyed all money
markets, since we shall not allow the prestige of our power to be
shaken by fluctuations of prices set upon our values, which we shall
announce by law at the price which represents their full worth without
any possibility of lowering or raising. (Raising gives the pretext for
lowering, which indeed was where we made a beginning in relation
to the values of the goyim.)
We shall replace the money markets by grandiose government credit
institutions, the object of which will be to fix the price of industrial
values in accordance with government views. These institutions will
be in a position to fling upon the market five hundred millions of
industrial paper in one day, or to buy up for the same amount. In this
328 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
way all industrial undertakings will come into dependence upon us.
You may imagine for yourselves what immense power we shall thereby
secure for ourselves...
PROTOCOL NO. 22
In all that has so far been reported by me to yon, I have endeavoured
to depict with care the secret of what is coming, of what is past, and
of what is going on now, rushing into the flood of the great events
coming already in the near future, the secret of our relations to the
goyim and of financial operations. On this subject there remains still
a little for me to add.
In our hands is the greatest power of our daygold: in two days
we can procure from our storehouses any quantity we may please.
Surely there is no need to seek further proof that our rule is predestined
by God? Surely we shall not fail with such wealth to prove
that all that evil which for so many centuries we have had to commit
has served at the end of ends the cause of true well-being-the bringing
of everything into order? Though it be even by the exercise of some
violence, yet all the same it will be established. We shall contrive to
prove that we are benefactors who have restored to the rent and
mangled earth the true good and also freedom of the person, and therewith
we shall enable it to be enjoyed in peace and quiet, with proper
dignity of relations, on the condition, of course, of strict observance
of the laws established by us. We shall make plain therewith that
freedom does not consist in dissipation and in the right of unbridled
licence any more than the dignity and force of a man do not consist
in the right for everyone to promulgate destructive principles in the
nature of freedom of conscience, equality and the like, that freedom
of the person in no wise consists in the right to agitate oneself and
others by abominable speeches before disorderly mobs, and that true
freedom consists in the inviolability of the person who honourably
and strictly observes all the laws of life in common, that human
dignity is wrapped up in consciousness of the rights and also of the
absence of rights of each, and not wholly and solely in fantastic
imaginings about the subject of one's ego.
Our authority will be glorious because it will be all-powerful, will
rule and guide, and not muddle along after leaders and orators shriek
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion
329
ing themselves hoarse with senseless words which they call great prin-
ciples and which are nothing else, to speak honestly, but utopian. . . .
Our authority will be the crown of order, and in that is included the
whole happiness of man. The aureole of this authority will inspire a
mystical bowing of the knee before it and a reverent fear before it
of all the peoples. True force makes no terms with any right, not even
with that of God: none dare come near to it so as to take so much as a
span from it away.
PROTOCOL NO. 23
That the peoples may become accustomed to obedience it is necessary
to inculcate lessons of humility and therefore to reduce the production
of articles of luxury. By this we shall improve morals which have
been debased by emulation in the sphere of luxury. We shall reestablish
small master production which will mean laying a mine under
the private capital of manufacturers. This is indispensable also for
the reason that manufacturers on the grand scale often move, though
not always consciously, the thoughts of the masses in directions against
the government. A people of small masters knows nothing of unemployment
and this binds him closely with existing order, and conse-
quently with the firmness of authority. Unemployment is a most
perilous thing for a government. For us its part will have been played
out the moment authority is transferred into our hands. Drunkenness
also will be prohibited by law and punishable as a crime against the
humanness of man who is turned into a brute under the influence
of alcohol.
Subjects, I repeat once more, give blind obedience only to the
strong hand which is absolutely independent of them, for in it they
feel the sword of defence and support against social scourges. . . .
What do they want with an angelic spirit in a king? What they have
to see in him is the personification of force and power.
The supreme lord who will replace all now existing rulers, dragging
on their existence among societies demoralised by us, societies that
have denied even the authority of God, from whose midst breaks out
on all sides the fire of anarchy, must first of all proceed to quench
this all-devouring flame. Therefore he will be obliged to kill off those
existing societies, though he should drench them with his own blood,
330 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
that he may resurrect them again in the form of regularly organised
troops fighting consciously with every kind of infection that may cover
the body of the State with sores.
This Chosen One of God is chosen from above to demolish the
senseless forces moved by instinct and not reason, by brutishness and
not humanness. These forces now triumph in manifestations of robbery
and every kind of violence under the mask of principles of freedom
and rights. They have overthrown all forms of social order to erect
on the ruins the throne of the King of the Jews; but their part will
be played out the moment he enters into his kingdom. Then it will
be necessary to sweep them away from his path, on which must be left
no knot, no splinter.
Then will it be possible for us to say to the peoples of the world:
"Give thanks to God and bow the knee before him who bears on his
front the seal of the predestination of man, to which God Himself
has led his star that none other but He might free us from all the
before-mentioned forces and evils."
PROTOCOL NO. 24
I pass now to the method of confirming the dynastic roots of King
David to the last strata of the earth.
This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that in
which to this day has rested the force of conservatism by our learned
elders of the conduct of all the affairs of the world, in the directing
of the education of thought of all humanity.
Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and
their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities,
inducting them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into
schemes of government, but providing always that none may come to
knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all
may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have not
been inducted into the secret places of its art. . . .
To these persons only will be taught the practical application of
the aforenamed plans by comparison of the experiences of many
centuries, all the observations on the politico-economic moves and social
sciencesin a word, all the spirit of laws which have been unshakably
Chapter 15 Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion 331
established by nature herself for the regulation of the relations of
humanity.
Direct heirs will often be set aside from ascending the throne if in
their time of training they exhibit frivolity, softness and other quali-
ties that are the ruin of authority, which render them incapable of
governing and in themselves dangerous for kingly office.
Only those who are unconditionally capable for firm, even if it be
to cruelty, direct rule will receive the reins of rule from our learned
elders.
In case of falling sick with weakness of will or other form of incapacity,
kings must by law hand over the reins of rule to new and
capable hands. . . .
The king's plans of action for the current moment, and all the
more so for the future, will be unknown, even to those who are called
his closest counsellors.
Only the king and the three who stood sponsor for him will know
what is coming.
In the person of the king who with unbending will is master of
himself and of humanity all will discern as it were fate with its
mysterious ways. None will know what the king wishes to attain by
his dispositions, and therefore none will dare to stand across an unknown
path.
It is understood that the brain reservoir of the king must correspond
in capacity to the plan of government it has to contain. It is for this
reason that he will ascend the throne not otherwise than after examination
of his mind by the aforesaid learned elders.
That the people may know and love their king it is indispensable
for him to converse in the market-places with his people. This ensures
the necessary clinching of the two forces which are now divided one
from another by us by the terror.
This terror was indispensable for us till the time comes for both
these forces separately to fall under our influence.
The King of the Jews must not be at the mercy of his passions,
and especially of sensuality: on no side of his character must he give
brute instincts power over his mind. Sensuality worse than all else
disorganises the capacities of the mind and clearness of views, distracting
the thoughts to the worst and most brutal side of human
activity.
332 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
The prop of humanity in the person of the supreme lord of all the
world of the holy seed of David must sacrifice to his people all per-
sonal inclinations.
Our supreme lord must be of an exemplary irreproachability.

THE STORY OF
JONATHAN MAY
Jonathan May attempted to free us from the shackles of the Federal Reserve bycreating an alternate banking system with instruments backed by land, rawmaterials, mineral deposits, oil, coal, timber, and other wilderness holdings.
Jonathan aided Governor Connolly and the Hunt brothers in their effort tocorner the silver market. The silver would have been used to create a "Bank of
Texas" issue of "real" money. This would have destroyed the Federal Reservehad the Hunts been successful. When the world bankers realized what was
happening, they destroyed Connolly, the Hunt brothers, Jonathan May, andTexas.
The federal Reserve entrapped Mr. May by intentionally routing his creditinstruments through the Federal Reserve, against the terms clearly stated
upon those instruments, instead of through Mr. May's alternate system.
Jonathan May was illegally arrested, illegally tried, and illegally imprisoned
in the Federal Prison at Terre Haute, Indiana. The world power structure has
stolen Mr. May's idea, which will be used as the banking system of the New
World Order and is known as the World Conservation Bank. Jonathan has
served four years of a fifteen-year sentence.
334 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
Telling Time: July 27, 1990
I SWEAR BY ALMIGHTY GOD THAT THE EVIDENCE I NOW
GIVE IS THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT
THE TRUTH, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, BELIEF AND
RECOLLECTION. I DO SO SWEAR UNDER THE PENALTY OF
PERJURY UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA -SO HELP ME GOD.
I was born into a privileged life-style in North
Devon, England, the third and last child and only son of a
wealthy, land-owning family. I was privately educated and
left school early, determined to join my father's business
and not be encumbered with the authoritarian atmosphere of
school. I did so by getting myself expelled. I was, I
believe, nearly sixteen. At once I began to work as a
livestock broker as ray father and his family did and still
does. I also farmed. I then branched into other goods,
buying for customers using ray contacts to supply items at a
lower cost and better quality items at the same cost than
normal retail suppliers. I was very successful. My business
continued to expand. Management was highly vertically
structured, and diversification was as lateral as I could
possibly make it. It continued to thrive. I developed a
sophisticated tax-shelter system which was lawfully capable
of removing taxation liability from the majority of my own
and my colleagues' incomes.
At age 20, in my twenty-first year, numerous old
documents - family heirlooms from my mother's side of the
family - were given to me as its last remaining male heir.
(Page 1 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 335
Among these old documents was an Indenture issued to an
ancestor of mine, settling upon him "and his heir and
assigns in perpetuity for the duration of the term hereof"
the responsibility and authority of Trustee for certain
property, goods, chattels, etc. As far as I can recall, the
document was dated "In this Year of Our Lord one Thousand,
Six Hundred and Forty Seven". The document - a parchment
with the Royal Seal of England still attached - constituted
a Trust indenturing my ancestor, et. al. for a 999-year terra
as trustee for the property named. The parchment was signed
by "Charles Stuart Rex Of England, France, and Ireland
King" - Charles I.
Knowing nothing about such matters, I consulted
lawyers . They determined the document was genuine, that a
trust had been established by the British King Charles I and
that its original trustee had been my ancestor, and that as
a matter of law - it could not be broken, the British
monatch then - and still - being the Supreme Head of the
judiciary in the United Kingdom. Also as a matter of law,
the trust was an operative entity, under the provisions of
which I, as the remaining male heir, was the responsible
trustee. However, it had clearly been inoperative for as
long as anyone could remember. Shares certified from "The
Dheli & Punjab Railway" and other such antiquated relics -
seemingly unredeemed still - were with the trust charter.
Successive charters endorsed by successive British monarchs
were with the original one as well.
It was determined that sub-trusts -subsidiaries -
should be formed at once, under the grandfathering precepts
of the original 17th-century charter. Out of the air, I
decided that 4000 such subsidiaries would be formed as
(Telling Time. Page 2 of 26)
336 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
non-domiciled entities, governed under the plural and
simultaneous governments of all the nations of the world
which were non-Communist.
Between the months of September 19, 1969 and
February 15, 1970, these 4000 charters were printed and
recorded in a register. These were numbered, prefixed by
"No. SSR/647/". The first was chosen to be the common
trustee entity for the remaining 3,999. None could be
recorded in any one country. Doing so would have given the
country of registration some prior-claim taxation ability.
For this reason, the Register of the 4000 entities was kept
in the constant custody of myself as the recorded
sole-signator of record of the original trust which we named
"The International Equity Trust". We decided to call the
group of sub-trusts "The Sovereign Charter Trust Group".
This main group was then subdivided into the Sodalitas Trust
Group -comprised of the administrative, in-house members
whose activities were to be coordinated by and through a
board of directors known as The Trustee's Directorate Body.
The remaining trusts were to have been sold/leased as
tax-shelters to sundry third parties for the fee of 20% of
the total tax liability saved by the client using the trust
for this purpose, ie. without one of our trusts - a tax
liability of $100,000, but with one of our trusts - at a
cost to the client of $20,000 - a nil tax liability.
In 1969, lawyers advised us that the only problem
we faced was the taxation authorities' propensity to
arbitrarily state that our trusts were a non-entity but that
they would be protected from taxation anywhere worldwide by
legislation once proof positive was available that they had
been alive as artificial persons for twelve years. My local
(Telling Time,Page 3 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 337
home-town lawyer had counter-endorsed the Register under
every page, and the 4000 trusts were "born", ie. chartered
between September 19, 1969 and February 15, 1970.
Accordingly, I determined that I should continue my business
enterprises for another twelve years and then simply sell or
lease out the 3,999 trusts at either a flat fee or by the
20%-of-taxes-saved formula - and use the proceeds, in part,
to re-determine the what, where, why, and when concerning
the assets of the original trust.
During the years that followed, I became more and
more diversified and made sound commercial contacts all over
the globe. Increasingly, my fees and commissions were being
paid to me in differing currencies. This brought my
attention to their differing interest rates and who, in
fact, it is who determines which currencies are loaned at
which rates. I discovered that a minute cartel controlled
all banking policies worldwide, and that the provision or
non-provision of "money" was all-controlling.
As my reputation as a finder of the unusual at a
fair price grew, I with my colleagues began to realize that
there was considerable resistance throughout the
conventional financial markets to "entrepreneurs". Highly
determined but very independently-minded individuals were
not at all welcome in "normal" banking circles. There was a
very real need in the independent business communities
throughout the world for alternative credit facilities to
properly and fairly provide for entrepreneurial needs -a
window in the market for them between new venture capital
and died-in-the-wool conventional business capital. We
decided that, in a wholly novel and independent manner, our
loosely connected but highly respected circle of
(Telling Time , Page 4 of 26)
338 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
"middle-men" would become providers of capital for our
established clients all over the world. Independent
credit/capital sources in the Middle East and elsewhere, and
several substantial private placement arrangements were
made, first between ourselves and our investors and
subsequently between ourselves and the users of those
investments. We chose to take a minimal intermediary fee
but retain a non-working but joint-venture/profit-sharing
interest in many of the enterprises capitalized by our
investors. We did find that there were never enough
investors to be found. Otherwise, everyone seemed content.
Like many arrogant and foolish young men before
me, I tended to advertise my financial success. I grew
headstrong. The local small town police force began to
watch me and became a significant nuisance, stopping me for
tires, speeding, etc., etc. I started a butcher business
and again made a significant success of it, also in my
hometown area. My success meant the loss of trade by my
competition. My premises were burgled successively, and
soon insurers would not insure me. I provided my own
deterrent. I rigged a "loaded shotgun" sign outside of my
premises and inside the coldstore placed a very lifelike
loaded shotgun and trip alarm system for anyone thinking of
again stealing my property as uninsured thousands had
already been stolen. The local police arrested me for
setting a man-trap with intent to endanger life. My intent,
quite obviously, was to protect my property, so I was very
properly acquitted of this foolish charge against me.
Having been advised not to rig up any such device
again, I purchased a young mountain lion as a "guard dog" to
continue to dissuade any would-be thieves. With 20-20
(Telling Time, Page 5 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 339
hindsight I realize that was not an appropriate thing to do.
I began to be a minor celebrity in my little country town,
and the local police were thoroughly incensed that the
charges against me had been dropped. I had become something
of a target. My "high profile" was not working for me. By
this time, because of my motoring offenses and the publicity
resulting from the trial and the mountain lion, my family
all but disowned me. I made it my business to establish
exactly who it was in the local police force who was
instigating my problems. It was no lesser man than Inspector
Goldsworthy. I hired people to watch his activities and it
came out that he was involved with drug importing.
The information supplied to me was that
Goldsworthy had an aged mother in Plymouth, England whom he
used as an excuse to make frequent trips there from North
Devon, but in fact he was met there by individuals who were
delivering illegal drugs to him. There was no way of
establishing for certain if such was the case. The people I
had been paying to follow him were not professionals.
felt it was time to hand the matter over into professional
hands though, and I did so. Almost at once this particular
inspector left the North Devon area.
Word came back to me from different sources,
probably the result of one of the two people I had employed
to follow Goldsworthy talking carelessly, that Goldsworthy's
subordinates on the local police force were going to get
even. The harassment grew to overwhelming proportions. For
example, a hunting trip with authorized shotguns locked in
my car under a blanket in the backseat became "having a
loaded shotgun in a public place". Was one of my guns left
loaded? It would have been a first and only time. Can the
(Telling Time. Page 6 of 26)
340 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
inside of my locked car be a "public place"? But my car was
in a public car park, so the court upheld the conviction.
The next two experiences originated with a
"friend" who subsequently admitted to me that he had agreed
to doing two things in return for not being prosecuted by
the same local police force. He sold me a dinghy and gave
me a pair of boots. Both were stolen property and I was
convicted of stealing and receiving them respectively.
Fines were imposed. I realized finally that I had no
prospect of leading a civilized life in my birthplace, so I
left the U.K. and came to the U.S. to try to establish a
new, unsullied life.
Between 1980-4, I simply made contacts and
conducted no business beyond consultancy. I generated
little money for myself. I lived for the most part on the
money I'd made in Europe during the '70's.
I was in the process of suing my local bank
manager and Mssrs. Barclays' Bank for multiple
contraventions of The Banking Act when I left England. One
of the "enemies" I'd made in England was a solicitor who has
given me very bad advice and then had the effrontery to
charge me for it. He was a close friend of ray local bank
manager. During my absence from England he sent me a bill
for about $2000 -a final demand -and then obtained a
judgement order and a personal bankruptcy order -all
without ray knowledge until I returned some five months
later. I am certain it was done to thwart ray lawsuit
against Mssrs. Barclays' Bank. In England, once adjudged
bankrupt, one may not sustain any lawsuits at all. I
(Telling Time, Page 7 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 341
immediately left England again and rearranged all my assets
so that I was not in violation of the U.K. bankruptcy laws.
I also obtained a U.S. Visa for Business Purposes.
In 1983 or 1984., the Trustee of The Sovereign
Charter Trust Group was recorded as a client of the Oklahoma
Trust Company, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Rand Everest
C.E.0. It had become necessary to become more visible
within the U.S. Little if any business was done with
Oklahoma, save using it as a depository for some of the
Sodalitas Trust Group's Private Placement Commercial Paper.
Outside of the jurisdiction of The Securities
Exchange Commission, exclusively upon a private placement
basis, The International Equity Trust began at this time to
place its paper in commercial situations worldwide.
Professional third-party geologists determined by
core -testing that the actual assayed content of nine
sections of gold/silver-containing properties "conveyed,
bartered, and assigned unseverably" to the Sovereign Charter
Trust Group in 1980-1 consistently down to the assayed depth
of 160 feet - was a minimum of one half ounce of gold per
tonne (cubic yard) and up to 10 ounces of silver per tonne
(cubic yard) over the entire nine square miles and beyond.
Geological surveys confirmed that these properties and the
acreage adjoining had once been a significantly large lake
fed by numerous streams from the Rocky Mountains. Over the
millennia, considerable quantities of gold and silver had
been washed down to the lakebed.
Under the Equal Rights Doctrine -the very
cornerstone of the national heritage of the United States of
(Telling Time, Page 8 of 26)
342 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
America - with these nine square miles' worth of gold and
silver deposits, The Sovereign Charter Trust Group was
endowed with a very considerable portfolio of assets. The
determination was made that the physical worth of those
assets, congruent to and parallel to comparable entities in
the public sector, would be used via the production of
commercial private placement paper to generate liquidity of
a sufficiency to establish the wholly independent credit
facility needed throughout the secondary financial market to
fill the "middlemen's window" in that market. Between
1982-3 and 1985-6 a considerable volume of face-value
long-term maturity paper - private placement "Prime Capital
Notes" was issued by the International Equity Trust for and
on behalf of the seven trusts which owned the aforesaid gold
and silver deposits.
An ultra-conservative system of checks and
balances was instituted by the Directorate Members of The
International Equity Trust under the chairmanship and C.E.O.
authority of the undersigned. Further applying the Equal
Rights Doctrine of the United States to our private
placement policy, I and my colleagues determined that in
order to properly reflect the value of the gold and silver
we had acquired it was necessary to establish a minimum
possible value and use it as our represented maximum
benchmark. This way, there could never be any question of
misrepresentation instituted against us. In order to
further insulate ourselves from any such charge, we
determined that our "paper" was to present itself only upon
a private placement basis throughout its "life" in the
secondary markets. Both safety features were built into our
private placement issue of paper as irrevocable and
unconditional prerequisites of its issue.
(Telling Time, Page 9 of 26)
Chapter l6 The Story of Jonathan May 343
The International Equity Trust, in its capacity as
plenipotentiarial fiduciary trustee for The Sodalitas Trust
Group (the administrative in-house members of The Sovereign
Charter Trust Group) was and is the only authorized issuer
of the group's Private Placement Prime Capital Notes. Such
issue may not occur in any circumstance, save and except
that the seven asset-owning trusts into whose custodial
possession the group assets are placed all independently
agree, each through their sole guardian/signator(s), that
such Issuance is appropriate and acceptable. Such
independently-arrived-at and mandatorily unanimous agreement
to so issue must be confirmed in writing by each of the
seven trusts' sole guardian/signator(s) of record and issued
to The International Equity Trust in Official Memorandum
format before such private placement paper may be issued.
The circumstance of issuance was so made properly
accountable.
The face value of the paper was likewise properly
and strictly controlled. The Sovereign Charter Trust
Group's asset base -initially the aforesaid gold and silver
deposits and subsequently also real property comprising over
517,000 acres (surface and minerals) would and shall never,
under the terras of the unseverable policy of The Sovereign
Charter Trust Group's senior administrative decision-making
body The Governing Chapter, be encumbered by debt beyond a
one quarter volume. That means that for each certified $100
of the asset base no more than $25 of face-value private
placement paper may be in existence. The reasoning behind
this very conservative policy was and is that the ultimate
credit facility which was being prepared for in the early
'80's with this issuance of paper and the accumulation of
assets. was never to find itself over-extended. An
(Telling Time, Page 10 of 26)
344 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
unquestioned and unquestionable safety feature ever present
within each facet of the new facility was that thus none of
its component parts would ever be in a position of
insolvency.
For administrative purposes, three differently
captioned documentary instruments were used. Each was a
Private Placement Promissory Note. Each constituted a Zero
Coupon instrument, ie. a promise to pay a final due-date
figure in the future comprised of both the principal sum and
the interest thereon accrued. All three instruments were I
referred to as "Prime Capital Notes" but one was also called
a "Bill of Exchange", one a "Notice of Acceptance", and one
as far as I can remember an "Indenture". "Bills of Exchange
were used when the recipient's business need was simply to
increase their asset base now in exchange for equity in such
business in perpetuity. "Notices of Acceptance" were used
in situations where the recipient's business need was both
to increase their asset base and to become affiliated with a
or a member within The Sovereign Charter Trust Group by
placing such business and/or its owners within the frameword
of one of the group's trusts. "Indentures" were used
exclusively on an in-house basis among the various members,
associates, and affiliates of the Sodalitas Trust Group.
************
The formula determined upon by The Directorate
Body of Trustees was as follows:
Asset Base 100 -Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @25 = AAA
Asset Base 100 -Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @33 = AA
Asset Base 100 -Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @50 = A
Asset Base 100 -Paper Liability Maximum Aggregate @66 = D.
(Telling Time, Page 11 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May . 345
The private rating of our associate and affiliate
business entities began at the beginning of 1986. Our own
group's paper was mandated by Group Policy as determined by
the Governing Chapter never to exceed an exposure factor of
25% of the group's in-house assets, ie. the assets owned by
the Sodalitas Trust Group's seven Primary Members, and was
accordingly qualified by our International Finance Counsel
Ltd. as a Private Placement AAA rated Promissory Note.
In 1984, one portion of our gold reserves was
exchanged in an Asset Barter-Exchange Agreement with the
sole surviving owner of over 517,000 acres of real property
(surface and mineral). The Group's acquisition of such
property was made unseverable under the provisions of
Article I - Section 10, Clause i of The U.S. Constitution.
After such acquisition, the net worth of the Sodalitas Trust
Group by and through said seven Primary Grade I Member
trusts was estimated as follows:
(Note: Some further eleven sections of the same gold-bearing
property was being disputed at the time and therefore not
counted, although a defendable title thereto was and is
held.)
1. Nine (9) Sections (square miles) x 640 acres x 4840
square yards per acre x 53 yards (the 160-foot depth) =
1,477,555,200 cubic yards.
2. 1,477,555,200 cubic yards x 1/2 ounce = 738,777,600 ounces
of gold in the 9 square miles.
3. 738,777,600 ounces - 6,000,000 assigned in exchange for
the 517,000 acres = 732,777,600 ounces of gold.

$194,452,900,000
By June 18, 1986, liabilities
outstanding, inclusive of Notes c/s at
$12-$13Billion, was approximately...... $ 14,375,000,000
$180,077,900,000.
On this basis I made representations to parties before
June 18, 1986 that The International Equity Trust controlled
assets "in excess of $152 Billion". It did, and it still
does.
This report concerns those assets' ability to
properly reinstate the power and authority of Congress to
govern without deference to those to whom it presently owes
the National Debt and its life.
On June 18, 1986, at the invitation of Attorney
Ms. Wendy Alison Nora (an ex-Recorder who had been forced to
resign from her position in the State of Wisconsin according
to her subsequent disclosure to me) for and on behalf of
"not less than 40" of the Sovereign Charter Trust Group's
trusts -including the seven who own the nine square miles
of gold and silver reserves and the 517,000 acres -The
International Equity Trust purchased The Lac Qui Parle
(Telling Time, Page 13 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 347
Bancorporation, Inc. Said entity was and is authorized
under Section 225.4 et. seq. of 12 CFR to "act as a bank buy
and sell securities -underwrite insurance -municipal
bonds and commercial paper," etc. This Holding Company
owned and owns a financial entity named The State Bank of
Boyd. Technically, The State Bank of Boyd (Minnesota) was
declared closed as a bank by The Federal Reserve System in
1984. On March 31, 1986, The Minnesota State Supreme Court
ruled that The State Bank of Boyd was not in liquidation nor
in bankruptcy, but rather that its assets and liabilities
only had been sold to the Bank of Madison - which later
changed its name to The Lac Qui Parle Bank. (Note: NOT to
be confused with The Lac Qui Parle Bancorporation, Inc.)
Highly unconventionally but not unlawfully, as
soon as we purchased The Lac Qui Parle Bancorporation, Inc.
(ours), it was the recipient of a Sodalitas Trust Group's
Promissory Note, due and payable (from memory) on August 1,
1999, in a figure of $2,000,000,000 with a minimum yield
factor included therein (a Zero Coupon Note) which provided
a then current value of approximately $1,672,000. A part of
the acquisition contract whereby The International Equity
Trust purchased the Holding Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary The State Bank of Boyd was that, under the
aforesaid provisions of 12 CFR Section 225.4 et. seq. , the
Holding Company at once and thereby extended a
$1,200,000,000 line of credit to the subsidiary under the
strict understanding that said subsidiary was under the
direct supervision of its parent entity The Lac Qui Parle
Bancorporation, Inc. by and through its owners' Trustee, The
International Equity Trust. The first and foremost
directive was that The State Bank of Boyd enjoyed a strictly
limited authorization, ONLY AS THE SERVICE AGENT OF
(Telling Time, Page 14 of 26)
348 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Coopper
ITS PARENT, to extend credit ONLY UP TO AN AGGREGATE
FIGURE OF 87 1/2% (7/8ths) of the credit extended to it by its
parent, ie. $1,050,000,000 of the $1,200,000,000.
The State Bank of Boyd WAS closed down as a bank.
It was not a non-viable corporate entity. It was not
"defunct". It did not have a banking charter despite the
fact that Attorney Nora confirmed to The Minnesota State
Commissioner of Commerce that she took the legal position
that "it was in our possession constructively as a matter of
law". I took the position that, since the purpose of The
Sovereign Charter Trust Group's acquisition of The Lac Qui
Parle Bancorporation was primarily to outwit and outmaneuver
the private owners of the Federal Reserve System and to
provide an alternative credit system for the peoples and
governments of the world -OUTSIDE of their manipulative
controlled climate, we would NOT presume to overtly
contravene the Minnesota State Banking authorities but
rather, use the State Bank of Boyd in its ONLY corporate
status as the SERVICE AGENT for The Lac Qui Parle
Bancorporation, Inc., which was itself authorized by
legislation to "Act as a Bank".
The alternative credit facility which was
presented to the Directorate Body of The International
Equity Trust by our "think-tank" was, in ray estimation,
nothing short of brilliant. After some deliberation, we
decided to refer to our new, copyrighted system as "The
Reconomy System".
The Reconomy System is comprised of a series of
individual self-help, socio-economic programs. As far as my
memory serves me, a total of 170 different programs were
(Telling Time, Page 15 of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 349
developed. The Reconomy Program restricts itself to two
separate functions. One is the provision of interest-exempt
credit facilities for private business users. The other is
the provision of limited non-repayable grant facilities for
what we chose to regard as "Critical Need" areas of society,
eg. the homeless, drug and alcohol abuse victims, low-income
students, and schools and universities which receive no
Federal funds. These were and are national programs.
During the late summer of 1985, The International
Equity Trust was approached by a few of the debtor nations.
They were complaining bitterly that the owners of the banks,
particularly in the U.S., to which their countries were
indebted, through the International Monetary Fund were
calling for revisions and amendments to those nations'
constitutions, the better to accommodate the corporate
associates of those bank-owners in those corporations'
designs to establish operations within the nations
concerned.
For those of you who are not aware, it is
generally agreed within informed circles that the Presidency
of James Earl Carter was orchestrated and primarily paid-for
in campaign funds by various "inner circle" members of the
Trilateral Commission. After the effective power and
authority of The Federal Reserve System was shifted from a
Washington, DC Board of Directors to the so-called
"independent" shareholders of the twelve regional Federal
Reserve Banks -the voting shareholders of which in
controlling proportion are all "coincidentally" members of
The Trilateral Commission -Jimmy Carter endorsed Paul
Volker's "Fractional Reserve Lending" policy. It alone
became the root cause of the inflation-recession and
(Telling Time, Page 16 of 26)
350 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
asset/gross sales-collateral cycles which -if you examine
the statistics -are orchestrated in four yearly trends.
Fractional reserve lending, an exclusive ability of only
Federal Reserve member institutions, is wholly and solely
responsible for the fact that the nation's money supply in
circulation is in fact comprised of over 97% credit for
which nowhere on earth has there ever existed the printed
currency equivalent.
It was fractional reserve lending which was
swiftly instituted immediately before high-ranking U.S.
government officials persuaded the Nigerian Prime Minister
to increase the price of Nigerian Crude Oil which he did,
immediately prior to losing his life in a coup which was
orchestrated by U.S. covert para-military personnel trained
in Belize (then British Honduras). The Nigerian Prime
Minister's life lasted "coincidentally" until the U.S
officials had flown on to Kuwait and persuaded its oil
producers to sell their oil at the inflated price of $30 per
barrel.
Why were these astute U.S. emissaries prepared to
purchase the Arabs' oil at this hugely inflated price? The
answer is both awesome and terrifying. U.S. government
officials were prepared and authorized to agree to purchase
the oil from the Persian Gulf states and the United Arab
Emirates upon two seemingly innocuous conditions. The first
condition was that O.P.E.C. -which was to have so much
anti-Arab propaganda spewed up against it later -was to
become a reality and insist that all oil sales worldwide
were in the future to be dollar-denominated. The second and
more sinister condition foisted upon the unsuspecting Arabs
was the the U.S. oil companies purchasing the crude would
(Telling Time, Page 17 Of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 351
not remit the sales proceeds back to the Middle East.
Rather, the Arabs were invited as a prerequisite of sale at
the inflated price to purchase long-term, 20 and 30-year
Certificates of Deposit locked into their depositor banks.
(Note: Readers are strongly invited to investigate, as did
investigators within our Group, the "coincidental"
relationships between the owner-controllers of the
purchasing oil companies and the owner-controllers of the
banks from which the Arabs "chose" to purchase their 20 and
30-year C.D.'s)
¦
In simplest terms, what IS this "fractional
reserve lending"? As evidenced by the fact that the money
in circulation cannot be matched with currency in existence
save in a negative ratio of about 66.6 to 1, it is fraud.
Can YOU lend anyone $1 if 66.6c of it has never been coined?
The answer is "yes" if you are a member of The Federal
Reserve System and not a humble licensee.
In order to evaluate the extent of the fraud of
fractional reserve lending as a matter of law, it is time to
examine the corruption practiced against "We the People" of
the U.S. as a result of its operation. Let us look at a
tiny example of the O.P.E.C./U.S. Prime Bank scenario:
An oil company issues a check for $lMillion to an
Arab seller's stateside agent. The figures are crossed out
of the oil company's account at, say, Chase Manhattan and
inserted into a 30-year Certificate of Deposit in the Arab's
name on the computer. The Arab has been paid. Who then
owns Standard Oil? Who then owns Chase Manhattan?
(Telling Time. Page 18 of 26)
352 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
What happens next? The crude is refined. The
costs and profits are passed on to the U.S. public. "That
dirty Arab Cartel" is blamed. But at $2 per gallon it is
the oil company's account which receives the revenue.
Meanwhile, what is happening to that Arab's
account? It shows $lMillion. In fact the bank in our
example, Chase Manhattan, has deposited that $lMillion - a
piece of paper with $lMillion written on it - to The Federal
Reserve Clearing System which "pursuant to Fractional
Reserve Lending Policy" authorizes Chase Manhattan to loan
at "x60" SIXTY MILLION to Mexico, Brazil, the U.S. Congress
-whomever it pleases -promulgating the overwhelming
falsehood that there is too much currency in the market and
not enough borrowers.
Concurrently, the U.S. Congress purportedly owes
approximately $65Million per week for the next 2000 years
providing that as of now not one further dime is ever spent
and there is a 2000-year moratorium on all interest charges
to Congress. Its second is the United Arab Emirates being
paid about 7% per $lMillion in oil revenue.
And those trusted pillars of society The Federal
Reserve Members - for every $lMillion recorded due in about
25 years to the Arab - has the burden of paying that Arab
about $70,000 per year and is only making from the White
House a STAGGERING $6Million per year and REQUIRING at the
same time $60Million per year as repayment because of
Trilateral originated policy issued by Congress.
We owe this all to the kind fiscal servants of
America and her People. In 1912 $400,000,000 was owed to
( Telling Time, Page 19 Of 26)
Chapter 16 The Story of Jonathan May 353
Congress and today $6,500,000,000,000 is owed by Congress!
A radical I am not. A one-time farmer and
now-forever-branded-criminal -permanently humbled in awe of
the extent of the above-evidenced megalomania, I am.
*****************
I terminated my business in England in about 1978.
Soon afterwards, I was terminated from being an individual
with whom anyone could conduct business in England, as a
result of the warped and crippled mind of a banker and his
stooge. I was invited to America by American strangers from
Texas. They have their own horror stories to tell. They
never will. Their lives are at stake. Suffice it to say
that they, Mr. John Connelly (since bankrupted), Governor
Clemence (now about to be ousted by the same force), the
Shah of Iran (whose illness became authentic only after
arriving in protective custody at a U.S. Airforce base), a
German banker (also assassinated by persons trained in
British Honduras) and an Austrian industrialist (now
pronounced insane) - were all involved in the silver fiasco.
Why? To properly authenticate Texan and U.S. currency
backed with 371 1/4 grains of silver per ounce as the
unrepealed Money-of-Account laws decree. I learned these
true horror stories after I had rejoiced in my
now-proven-to-have-been-assinine belief in the U.S.
Constitution.
On June 18, 1986, in my recorded capacity as sole
Signator of Record for The International Equity Trust in its
lawful capacity a sole Trustee of Record for the 3,999 other
trusts - grandfathered under and as sub-trusts of an
(Telling Time, Page 20 of 26)

authentic trust established when only the law of
force-of-arms existed on the North American continent,
trusts which wholly supersede taxation ANYWHERE, I signed an
agreement constituting "Obligations of Contract". I knew
they could not be impaired. Article I, Section 10, Clause i
of YOUR Constitution decrees it. The International Equity
Trust so purchased that Bank Holding Company "authorized to
extend credit nationally and internationally" NOT for itself
but for 40 trusts -none of the other 39 of which had any
idea that the others were likewise buying -thereby
defeating The Federal Reserve's controlling policy to obtain
its permission to so purchase. One of those 40 trusts was
The Sovereign Trust of North America. As a matter of public
record recorded under the provisions of Article IV, Section
1 which mandates such fact to be given full faith and
credit, the beneficiaries of The Sovereign Trust of North
America include the U.S. Congress, each State of the Union's
governments, and the Body Politic - "We the People of the
United States." Other trusts' beneficiaries are other
non-Communist governments.

A Declaratory Statement, dated between June 18,
1986 and July 3, 1986 was sent to Mr. Paul Volker, then

aforesaid, I disclosed to him that our group had allocated a
quantum of $500,000,000 per U.S. State for the

implementation of our United States Reconomy System - not as
a competitor per se but rather as a sophisticated
alternative credit source whose purpose was entirely limited
to its prospective outlets. The phone number of Attorney
Nora was enclosed with a clear and unequivocal request to
contact us in the event that our Program was in any way in
contravention of the Constitution and laws made on pursuance
thereto in that it relied for its authenticity upon the same
laws which permitted The Federal Reserve to enforce its
policies -because our Holding Company was in part owned by
the U.S. This constituted it as an independent Agent of the
United States under Title 18 USC, Section 6. We
unconditionally covenanted to Congress an equity
participation of a minimum of $750,000,000 per month, to
each State an anticipated $40,000,000, a certain $35,000,000
per month, and to the Body Politic "We the People" upon a
state by state basis about $150,000,000 per month. The
balance of the income generated monthly save 5% operating
expenses and a 10% fee belonged in perpetuity to the
investors, whose assets backed our facility in a minimum
ratio in our favor of "x3" in assets and "x8/7ths" in terms
of our 12 CFR, Section 225.4-authorized U.S. Bank Holding
Company's service agents' maximum possible liabilities.
On June 19, 1986, having so purchased The Lac Qui
Parle Bancorporation out of the future control of The
Federal Reserve System, in order to shore up its status as
an authorized U.S. Bank Holding Company, another banking
entity owned by The International Equity Trust was assigned
under The Lac Qui Parle Bancorporation, Inc.'s ownership.
A certain amount of "cash" had been set aside to
cover the "float". The assets had been duly assigned. The

law was clear that we were authorized. Paul Volker had noz
come back to us within the ten days under the law of laches
which I had invoked in ray letter. Unconventional or not,
we were in business.
Certain of our customers were approved for
immediate credit lines. Certain of our operatives were
appointed as Regional Directors over a five-state area each
endowed with the responsibility to open ten offices per
State. Each was provided with an interest pre-paid credit
line of $50,000,000. Acting Service Agent, first tier
retailer for The Lac Qui Parle Bancorporation's
credit-extending enterprise, the subsidiary The State Bank
of Boyd, in its own right, also enjoyed a new credit line of
$1,200,000 but was obligated not to extend more than "x7/8"
($1,050,000) to insulate itself from insolvency.
With the knowledge that checks are not
"securities" as so decreed in the Securities and Exchange
Act -an act made in pursuance to the Constitution and
hence, under Article VI supreme in its force and effect Attorney
Nora ordered cashiers' checks and personalized
checks from the appropriate printers for The State Bank of
Boyd. She and I both knew and later re-confirmed at my
trial that there exists no legislation which prohibits
anyone or any corporation from issuing its own cashiers'
checks per se. Unconventional without a doubt but unlawful
-no. We both also knew that the only restriction in terms
of The State Bank of Boyd's activities as a non-bank was
that it was physically without its Banking Charter but, as
re-confirmed at trial, the only additional ability such a
charter grants its corporate owner is the authority to take
deposits. Neither The Reconomy System nor any of its 170

programs engages any of its variously tiered
instrumentalities in any deposit-taking activity. Reconomy
is an entirely restructured socio-economic equation.
On July 3, 1986, in the absence of jurisdiction,
in the absence of a valid arrest warrant, in the absolute
absence ae a matter of law of any crime, I was arrested in
Georgia for "Interstate Transportation of falsely made
securities". The "securities" in question, the ONLY
securities made the subject-matter of the charges against
me, were the State Bank of Lloyd checks - each one of which
was appropriately stamped on the reverse side to be
privately cleared outside of The Federal Reserve System.
Contrary to Congressional legislation, I was given
no extradition hearing but was held in Georgia for my
removal to Minnesota for arraignment.
My arraignment took place contrary to legislated
time limit prescriptions. I was also denied counsel of my
CHOICE.
My "trial" did not take place within the statutory
maximum 90 days of my continued incarceration from July 3,
1986. I was denied permission to have witnesses. My
subpoena demands were ignored. Exculpating evidence was
precluded. When I attempted to fire my mandatory Public
Defender to better conduct the remainder of my trial myself,
I was denied.
No one would have -no one could have lost when it
was OUR assets at risk, backing OUR credit, being extended
(Telling Time, Page 24 of 26)
in direct accordance with Congressionally-instituted
legislation and in compliance with 12 CFR, Section 225.4 et.
seq. When I pointed this out in court and demanded that it
be produced, the court refused.
It was clear I was to be jailed. My "crimes" were
my foolishness in believing the U.S. Constitution's
guarantee of my innocence and my right to equal commercial
ability and protection -and, clearly, my arrogance in
believing that such Constitutional provisions would provide
sufficient protection against the now-obviously-corrupted
instruments of The U.S. Judicial System.
I am a British citizen. I am not a juridical
resident of D.C. under 26 USC Section 7701 (A)(39) or
otherwise. The United Nations Convention implements
Congressional GUARANTEE unto my government that I shall
enjoy the full weight of the protection of the laws of the
United States. Instead, well beyond the purview of any
legislative authority, I was subjected in an Admiralty
jurisdictionary Article I Tribunal called "United States
District Court" - no Constitutionally proper district court
of the United States - to a trial for an invented "crime"
that is legislatively impossible to commit. Mr. Harbour,
the U.S. Probation Service Congressional delegate, made a
"mistake" with ray sentencing guidelines which should have
been worst-possible-case 14-18 months. He instead provided
the court with a 52-64 month range. Given the judge's
appointment by Trilateral President Carter and relationship
to the Federal Reserve Director, the court quite
"appropriately" sentenced me to TEN YEARS in prison - not to
protect the People but to protect The Federal Reserve's
fraud against the People!! I SO PUBLICLY ACCUSE!!
(Telling Time, Page 25 of 26)

During the past four years of this sentence,
evidence upon evidence of civil and criminal conspiracy has
been presented to such lofty persons as Senator Joseph
Biden, the Attorney General, The Inspector General, and
more - to no avail, save continued and continuing abuse of
process and overt falsehoods being made part of court
records -proven to be false by conflicting U.S. government
agency source records. Where - to whom - can one turn to
regain -as a Human Right, a Civil Right, and both a
Constitutional and N.A.T.O-instituted Right - my freedom?
NEVER was there intent to defraud - ONLY, EVER to
wrest from the chains of debt a suffocating government and

1.
Motivation and Objectives
The world problematique formulated by the CLUB OF ROME is not only global in
nature, involving factors traditionally considered as unrelated, but also points to thecrisis situations which are developing in spite of the noblest of intentions and, indeed,
as their corollary. To point out the problematique and the spectrum of critical and
traumatic situations it entails is not enough; the acceptance of the reality of theproblematique MUST BE FOLLOWED BY CHANGES IF THE CONCERN IS NOT
TO REMAIN PURELY ACADEMIC. It is necessary, therefore, to present the issues
within the problematique in specific and relevant terms which requires regions
interpretation of the global issues. Furthermore, a basis should be provided for the
resolution of conflicts (inevitably accompanying the problematique-type situations)
through cooperation rather than confrontation. These factors have provided the
motivation for initiation of the Strategy for Survival project which calls for the
construction of a regionalized and adaptive model of the total world system with tht
following specific objectives:
(1) TO ENABLE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SCENARIOS FOR THE
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORLD SYSTEM which represent visions ofthe world future stemming from different cultures and value systems and reflecting
hopes and fears in different regions of the world.
(ii) To develop a planning and options-assessment tool for long-range issues, and
thereby TO PROVIDE A BASIS FOR CONFLICT RESOLUTION by cooperation
rather than confrontation.
2. Basic Structure of the Model
The basic characteristics of the model are:
(i) THE WORLD SYSTEM IS REPRESENTED in terms of interacting regions withprovisions made to investigate any individual country or subregion in the context ofregional and global development. Presently the world system is represented BY TENREGIONS: NORTH AMERICA, WESTERN EUROPE, EASTERN EUROPE,
JAPAN, REST OF DEVELOPED WORLD, LATIN AMERICA, MIDDLE EAST,
REST OF AFRICA, SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST ASIA, AND CHINA.
(ii) In order to be able to deal with the complex of factors involved in problematique
in a way which is sound, credible and systematic, a hierarchical structure has bee
adopted for the model in which each level in the hierarchy represents the evolution of
the world system within a context defined by a given set of laws and principles.
Specifically, the levels involved are:
GEO-PHYSICAL, ECOLOGICAL, TECHNOLOGICAL (MAN-MADE ENERGY
AND MASS TRANSFERS), ECONOMIC, INSTITUTIONAL, SOCIOPOLITICAL,
VALUE-CULTURAL AND HUMAN-BIOLOGICAL. Such and
approach enables an optimal use of confirmed scientific knowledge and available data,
(iii) An adequate view of the conditions in which the problematique is emerging andunder which the solutions must be found require the recognition of the purposive
aspects of the human community and adaptiveness of human beings. The model of the
world system will have, therefore, two parts:
(1) the so-called causal part, representing dynamical processes which follow histoical
patterns of development and (2) the so-called goal-seeking part which representspurposive changes under new conditions. The goal-seeking part in turn includes two
APPENDIX E New World Order 451
levels: the decision-making or actions level and the norms level; the former representsthe purposive response of the system while the latter represents the values and normswhich constrain and condition such a response.
3. Progress in the Model Construction
The construction of the model as described in Sec. 2 and with the objectives as
specified in Sec. 1 is certainly a rather complex task and the research is organized toproceed in parallel in several directions. The overall assessment of the model status isthe following:
The model has been developed up to the stage where it can be used for policy analysisrelated to a number of critical issues, such as: energy resources utilization and
technology assessment; food demand and production; population growth and the
affect of timing of birth control programs; reduction of inequities in regional economicdevelopments; depletion dynamics of certain resources, particularly oil reserves;
phosphorus use as fertilizer; regional unemployment; constraints on growth due tolabor, energy or export limitation, etc.
Specific developments which enable use of the model as described above include the
following:
1. A COMPUTER MODEL OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC SYSTEM HAS
BEEN DEVELOPED AND VALIDATED BY AN EXTENSIVE SET OF DATA. The
model has two levels - macro and micro. On the MACRO LEVEL the model of each
region INCLUDES THE GROSS REGIONAL PRODUCT, TOTAL IMPORTS AND
EXPORTS, CAPITAL AND LABOR PRODUCTIVITY AND VARIOUS
COMPONENTS OF FINAL DEMAND SUCH AS PUBLIC CONSUMPTION,
GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE, AND TOTAL INVESTMENT. ON THE
MICRO LEVEL EIGHT PRODUCTION SECTORS ARE RECOGNIZED:
AGRICULTURE MANUFACTURING, FOOD PROCESSING, ENERGY,
MINING, SERVICES, BANKING AND TRADE, AND RESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION. The input-output framework is used for the intermediate
demands. A FULL SCALE MICRO TRADE MATRIX ALSO HAS BEEN
DEVELOPED.
2. A WORLD POPULATION MODEL HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED IN TERMS
OF THE SAME REGIONS AS THE ECONOMIC MODEL. The model has been
validited by the data available. In each region the population structure is represented in
terms of four age groups with appropriate delays which make possible assessment of
population momentum and assessment of the effectiveness of implementation ofvarious population control measures.
3. AN ENERGY MODEL HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED which gives for eachregion the consumption and production of energy and interregional exchange of energy
resources as a function of economic factors. Energy is treated both in composite terms
and in reference to individual energy sources, namely solid fuel, liquid fuel, nuclear,
gas and hydro.
4. A FOOD PRODUCTION AND ARABLE LAND USE MODEL HAS BEEN
CONSTRUCTED which allows the assessment of a number of food related issues
including: the need and availability of phosphorus required for intensive agriculture,
AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF TIMING AND MAGNITUDES OF NATURAL
DISASTERS SUCH AS DROUGHT, CROP FAILURE DUE TO DISEASE, ETC.
452 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
5. A MAJOR CONCERN IN THE APPLICATION OF THE COMPUTER
MODEL is its proper utilization so as to avoid dependence on the deterministic aspectsof model operation. In order to avoid this an interactive method of computer
simulation analysis has been developed. THE METHOD REPRESENTS A
SYMBIOSIS OF MAN AND COMPUTER IN WHICH THE COMPUTER
PROVIDES THE LOGICAL AND NUMERICAL CAPABILITY WHILE MAN
PROVIDES THE VALUES, INTUITION AND EXPERIENCE. The method utilizes
an option specification and selection program which enables the policy analyst ordecision-maker to evaluate alternative options on various levels of the decision process,
i.e., with respect to goals, strategies, tactical and implementational factors. SPECIAL
ATTENTION IS PAID TO THE NORM CHANGING PROCESSES.
4. Progress in Application
THE MODEL HAS BEEN USED both for the assessment of alternative scenarios
for future regional and global developments (under different regional conditions) as
well as in the interactive mode selection of policy options (specifically for the energy
crises issues in developed regions).
OUR EFFORTS IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE WILL BE CONCENTRATED
ON FURTHER USE OF THE ALREADY DEVELOPED MODEL. THE PLANS
INCLUDE EMPHASIS IN THE FOLLOWING THREE DIRECTIONS:
(i) Assessment in the changes over time of the span of options available to solve somemajor crisis problems.
(ii) IMPLEMENTATION of the regional models in different parts of the world andtheir connection via a satellite communication network for the purpose of jointassessment of the long term global future by teams from the various regions.
(iii) Implementation of the vision for the future outlined by leaders from an
underdeveloped region in order TO ASSESS with the model EXISTING OBSTACLES
AND THE MEANS WHEREBY THE VISION MIGHT BECOME REALITY.

From: John Edgar Hoover, Director
Subject: ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
NOVEMBER 22,1963
Our Miami, Florida, Office on November 23,1963, advised
that the Office of Coordinator of Cuban Affairs in Miami advised that the
Department of State feels some misguided anti-Castro group might capi-
talize on the present situation and undertake an unauthorized raid
against Cuba, believing that the assassination of President John F. Ken-
nedy might herald a change in U. S. policy, which is not true.
Our sources and informants familiar with Cuban matters
in the Miami area advise that the general feeling in the anti-Castro Cuban
community is one of stunned disbelief and, even among those who didnot entirely agree with the President's policy concerning Cuba, the feel-
ing is that the President's death represents a great loss not only to the
U.S. but to all of Latin America. These sources know of no plans for un-
authorized action against Cuba.
An informant who has furnished reliable information in the
past and who is close to a small pro-Castro group in Miami has advised
that these individuals are afraid that the assassination of the President
may result in strong repressive measures being taken against them and,
although pro-Castro in their feelings, regret the assassination.
The substance of the foregoing information was orallyfurnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain
William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November
23,1963, by Mr. W. T. Forsyth of this Bureau.

The Report from Iron Mountain

THE REPORT
though not yet expressly put forth, is the development of
a long-range sequence of space-research projects with
largely unattainable goals. This kind of program offers
several advantages lacking in the social welfare model.
First, it is unlikely to phase itself out, regardless of the
predictable "surprises" science has in store for us: the
universe is too big. In the event some individual project
unexpectedly succeeds there would be no dearth of substitute
problems. For example, if colonization of the
moon proceeds on schedule, it could then become "neces-
sary" to establish a beachhead on Mars or Jupiter, and so
on. Second, it need be no more dependent on the general
supply-demand economy than its military prototype.
Third, it lends itself extraordinarily well to arbitrary
control.
Space research can be viewed as the nearest modern
equivalent yet devised to the pyramid-building, and
similar ritualistic enterprises, of ancient societies. It is
true that the scientific value of the space program, even
of what has already been accomplished, is substantial on
its own terms. But current programs are absurdly and
obviously disproportionate, in the relationship of the
knowledge sought to the expenditures committed. All
but a small fraction of the space budget, measured by
the standards of comparable scientific objectives, must
be charged de facto to the military economy. Future
space research, projected as a war surrogate, would
further reduce the "scientific" rationale of its budget to
a minuscule percentage indeed. As a purely economic
466 BEHOLD A PALE HORSE William Cooper
SUBSTITUTES FOR THE FUNCTIONS OF WAR 63
substitute for war, therefore,
gram warrants serious consideration.
In Section 3 we pointed
extension
out that
of the
certain
space pro-
disarmament
models, which we called conservative, postulated ex-
tremely expensive and elaborate inspection systems.
Would it be possible to extend and institutionalize such
systems to the point where they might serve as economic
surrogates for war spending? The organization of fail-
safe inspection machinery could well be ritualized in a
manner similar to that of established military processes.
"Inspection teams" might be very like armies, and their
technical equipment might be very like weapons. Inflating
the inspection budget to military scale presents
no difficulty. The appeal of this kind of scheme lies in
the comparative ease of transition between two parallel
systems.
The "elaborate inspection" surrogate is fundamentally
fallacious, however. Although it might be economically
useful, as well as politically necessary, during the disarmament
transition, it would fail as a substitute for the
economic function of war for one simple reason. Peacekeeping
inspection is part of a war system, not of a
peace system. It implies the possibility of weapons maintenance
or manufacture, which could not exist in a world
at peace as here defined. Massive inspection also implies
sanctions, and thus war-readiness.
The same fallacy is more obvious in plans to create
a patently useless "defense conversion" apparatus. The
long-discredited proposal to build "total" civil defense
APPENDIX E New World Order 467
66
THE REPORT
obvious destabilizing effect of any global social welfare
surrogate on politically necessary class relationships
would create an entirely new set of transition problems
at least equal in magnitude.
Credibility, in fact, lies at the heart of the problem
of developing a political substitute for war. This is where
the space-race proposals, in many ways so well suited as
economic substitutes for war, fall short. The most ambi-
tious and unrealistic space project cannot of itself generate
a believable external menace. It has been hotly
argued6 that such a menace would offer the 'last, best
hope of peace," etc., by uniting mankind against the
danger of destruction by "creatures" from other planets
or from outer space. Experiments have been proposed to
test the credibility of an out-of-our-world invasion threat;
it is possible that a few of the more difficult-to-explain
"flying saucer" incidents of recent years were in fact
early experiments of this kind. If so, they could hardly
have been judged encouraging. We anticipate no diffi-
culties in making a "need" for a giant super space pro-
gram credible for economic purposes, even were there
not ample precedent; extending it, for political purposes,
to include features unfortunately associated with science
fiction would obviously be a more dubious undertaking.
Nevertheless, an effective political substitute for war
would require "alternate enemies," some of which might
seem equally farfetched in the context of the current
war system. It may be, for instance, that gross pollution
of the environment can eventually replace the possibility
of mass destruction by nuclear weapons as the principal

SUBSTITUTES FOR THE FUNCTIONS OF WAR

apparent threat to the survival of the species. Poisoning
of the air, and of the principal sources of food and water
supply, is already well advanced, and at first glance
would seem promising in this respect; it constitutes a
threat that can be dealt with only through social organ-
ization and political power. But from present indications
it will be a generation to a generation and a half before
environmental pollution, however severe, will be suffi-
ciently menacing, on a global scale, to offer a possible
basis for a solution.
It is true that the rate of pollution could be increased
selectively for this purpose; in fact, the mere modifying
of existing programs for the deterrence of pollution could
speed up the process enough to make the threat credible
much sooner. But the pollution problem has been so
widely publicized in recent years that it seems highly
improbable that a program of deliberate environmental
poisoning could be implemented in a politically acceptable
manner.
However unlikely some of the possible alternate enemies
we have mentioned may seem, we must emphasize
that one must be found, of credible quality and magni-
tude, if a transition to peace is ever to come about with-
out social disintegration. It is more probable, in our
judgment, that such a threat will have to be invented,
rather than developed from unknown conditions. For
this reason, we believe further speculation about its puta-
tive nature ill-advised in this context. Since there is
considerable doubt, in our minds, that any viable political
surrogate can be devised, we are reluctant to com

of the United States as to Central and South America and the enunciation
of Japan's attitude toward China. In the first there is on the part of the
United States no engagement or promise, while in the other Japan voluntarily
announces that Japan will herself engage not to violate the political
or territorial integrity of her neighbor, and to observe the principle of the
open door and equal opportunity, asking at the same time other nations to
respect these principles.
Therefore, gentlemen, you will mark the wide difference and agree with
me, I am sure, that the use of the term is somewhat loose and misleading.
I ask you to note this with no suggestion that I can or any one else does
question the policy or attitude of your country, which we well know will
always deal fairly and honorably with other nations.
As you must have noticed, I have persistently struck one note every
time I have spoken. It has been the note of warning against German intrigue
in America and in Japanintrigue which has extended over a period
of more than ten years. I am not going to weary you with a repetition of
this squalid story of plots, conceived and fostered by the agents of Germany,
but I solemnly repeat the warning here in this most distinguished gathering,
so thoroughly representative of the highest ideals of American journalism.
In my speeches at various places I have endeavored to speak frankly
on all points at issue or of interest at this time. There are, of course, some
things which can not be openly discussed, because of a wise embargo uponunwise disclosures, but I am confident that from this time forward we will
be able to effectively cooperate in all matters tending to secure a victory
in this struggle which means so much for all of us, and that throughout all
the years to come, differences of opinion or difficulties arising between our
two countries will be settled, as all such questions and difficulties can be
settled, between close friends and partners.
I thank you, sir, for your hospitality and for your courtesy. I assure
you, gentlemen, again that we appreciate more than I can express the high
consideration, the patriotism, and the broad and friendly spirit with which
you have treated this Mission from Japan.
Comptroller William A. Prendergast was next called upon. He said in
part:
Mr. Chairman, Viscount Ishii, gentlemen of the Commission, Your
Excellency, and gentlemen: Our host has asked me to say a word of welcome
to Viscount Ishii and associate members of the Commission in the
name of the great city of New York.
It would seem to me that it is hardly necessary even to attempt to
repeat the very great pleasure and honor and happiness that it gives New
York to have you as its guests.
Now, Viscount Ishii, might I at this time sound a note which may be
somewhat contrary to that which has been the dominant idea of our dis-
cussions upon these occasions? We have treated, and naturally, of war.
That is the thought that is uppermost in our minds. It is the thing that is
in the thought tad the mind of man, woman, and childwar. I can say
